Commercial Workplace charge points. Not all the non-domestic charge points in the ChargePlace Scotland network are publicly accessible as they were installed under the commercial workplace scheme. Part of the reason for installing public charge points is to help drivers overcome their fear of range anxiety but this does not come cheap.
