Police Scotland has spent almost £20million on electric cars in a bid to make it the greenest force in Britain, the Sunday Mail can reveal.
In the last three years it has bought 599 specially adapted Hyundai Kona models at a cost of £15.2million, figures released last week show.
A further £3.1million has been spent on 130 charging points at 26 stations across the country, including Ayr, Dumfries, Dunblane, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hawick and Kilmarnock.
