A Conservative MSP was accused of 'inappropriate' conduct at an Edinburgh Council meeting after she disagreed with an officer about the capability of the city's electric vehicle chargers.
Susan Webber, who represents the Lothian region at Holyrood and is also a councillor for Pentland Hills, disputed claims that new 50-kilowatt (kW) 'rapid' car chargers being rolled out across the city can charge to 80 per cent in half an hour.
She said it takes her own electric vehicle (EV) more than three times that, and asked when the 100kW-plus "real rapid chargers" would be introduced in Edinburgh, claiming that the 50kW devices are now deemed "slow."
