Travelling along the NC500 in Northern Scotland isn't just for diesel or petrol cars anymore, as now electric vehicles can get in on the action too.
There are now dozens of EV charging stations to allow you and your electric car to take in the sights of the popular route.
Where can I charge my electric car on the NC500?

Luckily, the NC500 has been ranked the best road in the UK for EV road trips with data from Leasing.com finding that the route is the most stress-free and accessible for electric cars.
In 2022, it was found that there were at least 30 charging stations along the circular route which runs from Inverness.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.Â
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.Â
That is invaluable.Â
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalistâs job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
