How is the 'so called' green agenda progressing within deliveries?

I see you didn't vote, even though "loads of them" fair enough

Waste of time not fit for purpose have to charge every other day and now they don't fully as it is winter and then the late collection staff or DPR move your van off charging point and don't put where it has been left and so you spend 10 minutes trying to find it and guess what not enough charge to do your job so you go to the nearest fast charging point a pub round the corner pay double the amount for charging and then lose time to do your delivery and this is progress :nana :nana :nana :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh and we have over 100 EV's but only 50 charging points

Our office doesn’t have any charging points. So electric vans are some way off.
