A further 150 electric vehicle charging points are set to be installed across County Durham.
Durham County Council has been successful in securing an additional £3.1m from the government to expand the county’s charging infrastructure.
The authority is one of only three councils to receive additional funding to expand on an innovative pilot scheme, which it first took part in last year.
Having received £1.25m to plan and install an initial 100 charging points, the extra money will now take the total number of charging points in the county to 250, including 60 rapid chargers.
