HUNDREDS of company car parks in Scotland's biggest cities could be converted into electric vehicle charging "hubs" in order to accelerate uptake of the new technology and provide extra residential parking spaces.
ScottishPower, one of the firms spearheading development of electric vehicles north of the Border, believes there is huge potential for residents to charge their cars in spaces that lie deserted overnight. It is planning to develop the concept over the next decade in collaboration with councils and employers.
