Chargers beyond economic life Sites expected to be delivered in 2024 Sites delivered since last update December 2022 Chargers beyond economic life and replaced as part of FASTER Project AREA TOWN/VILLAGE EXISTING LOCATION COUNCIL OWNED PROPOSED THEME PRIORITY COMMENTS STRACHUR MEMORIAL HALL Y 1 x RAPID 1 1 This would provide for a network gap between Dunoon and Inveraray/Arrochar. This is a third party owned site - we have had positive initial discussions with the owners GUILDFORD SQUARE Y 1 x RAPID 1 1 Rapid charging provision has now been provided via the FASTER project noted below. It may be the case that, with the 2x RAPIDs provided at Rothesay Harbour, the Guildford Square site needn't be as high a priority. GUILDFORD SQUARE Y 1 x FAST 2 2 Population of 2,000 to 5,000 - 25% off-street car parks 1 x SLOW GUILDFORD SQUARE Y This charger has reached the end of its economical life and we are seeking to decommission it and, in time, when funding becomes available, replace it with a FAST or RAPID charger CHAPELHILL ROAD CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 2 Population of 2,000 to 5,000 - 25% off-street car parks 2 x RAPID ROTHESAY HARBOUR Y 1 2 Delivered 2x RAPID chargers as part of HITRANS FASTER project 2023. This provides additional capacity over and above what was planned, in agreement with HITRANS in order to access and maximise funding. Also bolsters the provision given the issues with the Guildford Square charger noted above. ROTHESAY HARBOUR Y 1 x FAST or SLOW [TBC] 2 2 Different type of charger at this site to provide for those ferry passengers who would leave their car. TIGHNABRUAICH 1x RAPID AND 1x FAST ROCKBANK Y 1 2 Previousy committed to via 2019/20 TS LAIP funding, now delivered INNELLAN SANDY BEACH Y 1 x FAST 2 1 Population 1,000 to 2,000 - one car park. PORT BANNATYNE ON-STREET PARKING BAY [EXACT DETAILS TBC] Y 1 x FAST 2 1 On the basis that there is no off-street car park proposed on street to meet network gap 1 x FAST AND 1 x RAPID COAL PIER ALEXANDRA PARADE Y HANOVER STREET CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks KIRK STREET CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks ARGYLL STRET CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks GLENMORAG CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks JANE VILLA CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks MOIR STREET CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 3 Population 5,000 to 10,000 - 50% off street car parks SANDBANK TSC CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 1 Population 1,000 to 2,000 - one car park.

Currently, access to the Luss Estates car park is at a cost which makes access to the charger a cost, unlike the rest of our network. The charger itself is coming to the end of its economical life so the most prudent course of action would be to install a completely new one in Glen Loin 2. KILCREGGAN SHORE ROAD CAR PARK Y 1 x FAST 2 1 Population 1,000 to 2,000 - one car park. GARELOCHHEAD COMMUNITY CENTRE Y 1 x FAST 2 2 Population of 2,000 to 5,000 - 25% off-street car parks [or at least one].
