North Yorkshire Council has set out a strategy to rapidly expand the number of public EV charging points in the county.
The government is planning to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, that will mean more demand for electric vehicle charging points.
Councillor Keane Duncan, is the council’s executive member for highways and transportation, he says the timescale is tight.
The county's transport bosses acknowledge that increasing the number of Electric Vehicle charging points in North Yorkshire is going to be challenging.
Councillor Duncan says there are a number of challenges to be faced.
North Yorkshire Council's Executive members were told this week that with £3.4m of funding already secured to expand EV charging points, the council had obtained more money than any other local authority in the country for the programme.
The council is also optimistic about landing a further £5.1m of capital and £500,000 of revenue funding to deliver on its EV charging network aspirations.
Chief Exec, Richard Flinton, says it's important for the county to make progress ahead of the governments target data of 2030 for the end of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars.
