Port of Leith Housing Association (PoLHA), famous for nipping around the North Edinburgh area in red branded vehicles, has purchased two electric cars to add to its fleet.
Running the Peugeot iOns will cost 75% less than an equivalent petrol or diesel vehicle, with charging points in PoLHA’s Constitution Street underground car park.
Keith Anderson, Chief Executive at PoLHA, (pictured) said: “The electric cars are a perfect addition to our fleet. The distances we travel are relatively short but we have to make a lot of them visiting tenants and developments. We are committed in being energy-efficient and playing our part to protect the environment so we are delighted to be embracing the use of these vehicles.”
An overnight charge fuels the car for 100 miles and many of the cars’ components are 100% recyclable.
