EXPLAINED: West lothian electric charging survey to help design future network | Vintage Vibes

West Lothian Council is asking drivers to help develop the future network of charging points for Electric vehicles (EV) - just weeks before tariffs are introduced.

An online survey on the council’s website hopes to build a picture of current and future EV ownership.

Tariffs to charge EVs come into force next month for the first time in the county, with a £1 minimum charge at a kW/h rate of 40p. That charging also carries a maximum charge time of 50 minutes and a £10 surcharge tariff for staying beyond that time limit. There’s a ban on returning to charge within 90 minutes of initial charge.
