Electric vehicles in Dundee have actually a proven ability to conserve numerous pounds every year compared to a petrol or diesel-fuelled automobile. This works together with our mission to reduce pollution levels in Dundee, creating a more secure and cleaner environment. We are dedicated to assisting the citizens and businesses of Dundee financially with their transportation expenses and also help lower their carbon footprint. Lots of other significant UK cities have identified Air Quality as a considerable challenge. Dundee has actually chosen to tackle this issue across the city instead of focusing on the identified hot spots. Due to the substantial intro of electric vehicles in the city through the local authority fleet, the taxi industry, other public bodies and members the general public, the air quality objectives for particles were fulfilled in full. Dundee has the second highest population density in Scotland and many locals do not have devoted off street parking with 51% living in multiunit houses. Our charging hubs supply charging services for locals residing in flats and tenements who are not able to acquire a devoted charge point. Due to the number of EVs in the city there is a high need for public charging with 9/10 of the greatest used charge points in Scotland located in Dundee. Together with providing Dundee with charging facilities the council understood the requirement to supply local facilities, particularly given that 40,000 weekly journeys into Dundee begin with outside the city. Operating in collaboration with surrounding local authorities, the council developed the idea of EV "charging gateways" which link up the city's charging infrastructure with our neighbouring region. Dundee City Council has actually set up 4 x 50kw chargers and 14 x 22kw battery chargers into the surrounding areas permitting an EV charging network that is seamless and without boundaries.
