A Mitsubishi dealership in Paisley has installed six new electric vehicle (EV)charging points to meet the growing customer demand.
The six new chargers bring the total at Phoenix Mitsubishi to eight, which are available for customers to use.
The installation was driven by rising sales of the Outlander PHEV, which saw a 41 per cent increase in sales for February 2016.
The the spike was likely down to customers pre-empting the reduction to the Plug-in Car Grant (PiCG), which came into effect from March 2016, but the dealership’s investment in charging infrastructure suggests it expects to see continued sales despite the drop in government grants.
Dom D’Agostino, dealer principal, said: “The success of the Outlander PHEV has spurred us on to have these extra charging points installed. There are only going to be more hybrids on the road so we want to be able to provide for our customers going forward.
“In the past, hybrid cars were seen as a bit different but now people are really embracing hybrid technology – it’s the way to go.”
