South Yorkshire has been awarded £225,000 to increase the number of rapid electric car charging points.
The county wihttp://www.thestar.co.uk/news/super-fast-charging-points-for-electric-cars-1-5915460″>ll receive £75,000 from the Department for Transport this year, with a further £150,000 the year after.
The units give some cars a full charge in 30 minutes as opposed to standard charge points that can take up to eight hours.
The grant funding is part of a £37 million pot the Department for Transport is giving to councils, hospitals and railway operators over the next three years.
Work will now start to identify half a dozen rapid charge points across South Yorkshire – making sure that there is an equal spread across areas.
