A £5.4 million plan to more than triple the number of electric car charging points across Ayrshire, will be considered by East Ayrshire councillors this week.
The proposals, which would see the Electric Vehicle (EV) network transferred to a private sector partner, are being put forward by all three Ayrshire councils.
While the move is aimed at encouraging EV uptake, it was also revealed that free charging would be coming to an end, with tariffs set to be introduced this year.
