We have just returned from Marvejols in Lozere, France, which is Cockermouth’s twin town and the surrounding area.
Marvejols is a remote town with about 6,000 inhabitants.
There, in two car parks are electric charging points both with two bays.
There are also charging points on the larger towns a few kilometres away.
Of course, all the motorway services that sell petrol also have this facility.
Why then is Cumbria so far behind?
Why in a county that is so reliant on tourism so unwilling to accept such an important addition?
We have a hybrid car and have installed a plug on point at home but such a luxury is not available for many people.
