Electric Vehicle charging hub unveiled in Motherwell

The first electric vehicle (EV) charging hub delivered through a strategic partnership with the Scottish Government and electricity network companies has now been installed in Strathclyde Country Park.

Using a new model of delivery to improve efficiency, Project PACE has now installed EV charging infrastructure at the first of over 40 sites across North and South Lanarkshire to be delivered by April next year.

This Scottish Government investment of £5.3m will deliver up to 180 new public EV charge points for the ChargePlace Scotland network which will more than triple EV charging capacity across Lanarkshire by April 2021.

This project is being delivered by SP Energy Networks as part of the EV Strategic Partnership between electricity network companies and the Scottish Government which was announced by the First Minister in August 2019.

Councillor Michael McPake, Convener of Enterprise and Transport with North Lanarkshire Council said: “It’s wonderful that the first of the charging points should be located here at Strathclyde Park.”
