Exeter electric car charging points removed
Electric charging points for the public to recharge cars are being removed and replaced due to "teething problems".
Playing สล็อต with real money slots has long been a controversial question, but the answer to this question is still not right because it has its own advantages.
The plan to install 16 rapid charging machines on streets around Exeter was supposed to put "Exeter on the map with the UK's most sustainable cities".
But the charging points that were installed are being taken away.
The project has been funded by Innovate UK and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, part of the Department for Transport.
Rapid Charging Devon, the organisation which is managing the project, said private company Gamma Energy would be meeting all of the costs of the withdrawal of the machines and their replacement with different models.
Some charging points were put in place in 2021 but workmen were seen removing some of the points in early June 2022.
The area where the charging machines once stood is now marked by a bollard.
In response to questions from the BBC, Rapid Charging Devon issued a statement which said some of the rapid chargers were "not working as consistently as we would like".
It said rather than continuing "with an intermittent service, we have decided to replace all the chargers with a different model".
The statement went on to say: "As with any new technology there can be teething problems and the replacement costs are being met by the private company involved.
"Whilst this will cause some inconvenience in the short term, ultimately Exeter residents will get reliable EV charging on their doorsteps thereby helping our city transition to a net zero future."
