Stirling Council are introducing fees to use their electric vehicle charging points from today.
It'll now cost 25 pence per kilowatt hour to use fast and slow charging points.
The rate for rapid charging points will be set at 35 pence, with a maximum stay of 40 minutes.
A minimum fee of £1.50 will be in place across all Stirling Council chargers.
Environment and Housing Convener, Cllr Jen Preston said: “The uptake of electric vehicles across Stirling is a highly encouraging sign for our long term ambitions of reaching net zero. Transport routinely accounts for a large portion of carbon emissions in Stirling and every effort towards reducing this is to be encouraged.
“While we want to encourage and support the continuing growth in EV ownership, we have a responsibility to ensure the infrastructure for charging vehicles remains financially sustainable. Introducing a tariff enables us to recover the energy consumption and asset management costs of the charging units.”
