Staff at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital told they face £40 fines if they dock their EVs for longer than four hours - despite chargers taking ten hours.
Fuming staff at Glasgow ’s flagship super-hospital have warned they’ll have to ditch their electric cars or quit after an “impossible” new charging scheme was brought in.
Since the controversial policy was brought in last Monday, one QUEH staffer said they had already been slapped with a £48 bill - including a fine - because they had been dealing with a medical emergency and had been unable to move their car. And workers travelling by EV from other cities like Stirling and Edinburgh said the new scheme would be completely “unworkable” for them because their cars need to fully recharge after the long commute.
They complained: “It takes 10hrs on those slow chargers. And where would you move the car to after 4hrs? Others suggested the move goes against the health board's own sustainability policy, with someone replying: "When you think you're doing something for the better then you get penalised for it."
