Only two Welsh council have published electric vehicle (EV) transition plans despite being encouraged to do so by the UK Government, an investigation has found.
The move to electric vehicles will have a positive effect in both fight against global heating and poor air quality levels. Recently WalesOnline conducted an investigation into how poor air quality was killing people in the Newport area. Electric cars are now widely available and used but there are substantial barriers to further take up due to the lack of charging points. Rectifying this will take some serious planning.
Of the 22 Welsh Councils only two, Carmarthenshire and Anglesey, have published an EV charging transition plan. Six other council apparently have plans but haven't yet published them. The other 14 either have no plan or did not respond to the requests.
