Joseph Ely has to sit outside his local McDonald's for up to two hours every time he wants to charge his car
A man says he regrets buying his electric car because of the difficulty and expense involved in charging his vehicle. Joseph Ely, 73, from Anfield , bought a Peugeot 3008 electric car in October last year, thinking he was 'doing the right thing'. Speaking to the ECHO , Joseph said: 'I used to have a diesel car, but I bought this EV because everyone was saying it was better for the environment.
However, when he contacted his local councillor to find out how to get the device installed, he claims he was told Liverpool City Council were 'waiting for guidance from the Department for Transport' before allowing Kerbo Charge to operate in the city. The products have been approved for use by a number of councils across the country, including those in Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
