Councillor Hughes said “driving the Council’s first electric car has been a great experience, it drives the exact same as an ordinary car apart from being much quieter! 

With ever rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, electric vehicles are becoming more appealing to consumers and businesses. The extensive ecar public charging infrastructure and other incentives for buyers make the move to zero emission vehicles more appealing than ever.’’
