    I know the EV is widely discussed on the main forum,and in Facebook, but I thought it might be useful to for folk to comment at a smaller local scale.

    Why for example has the CP at Ballynahinch never been replaced, there's been a hole in the ground because the original CP was so badly damaged,it was never replaced.?

    I've spent the last 8 years,politely explaining to ICE drivers that they are blocking an EV bay,and that its not their fault,as Ecarni, had a deliberate policy to only paint one of the two bays green,so as not to upset diesel drivers?

    Charge point eventually replaced in Castlewellan, Co. Down ,11 years on,many thanks to ESB.

    Sadly 11 years on only one bay has signage telling diesel folk 2 bays are for EV.

    Maybe head of Green paint will get a budget soon?f

    New rapid charge point for EVs in Newcastle Centre and another at New Lidl.

    But are we seeing Councils doing different deals with various installers,meaning they will require different Apps and payment arrangements,leading to confusion and disgruntled drivers?
