Meet the man behind council's electric cars

Alan Kelley, our Transport Compliance Officer, is responsible for the day-to-day running of the council fleet. We asked him about the growing importance of electric vehicles. 

“We use these vehicles because they have zero emissions and green benefits. Clean air is beneficial for people’s health and well-being – and we always want to do the right thing for the East Lothian environment,” says Alan.

“Not only that, the cost of running these vehicles is considerably better - the more electric vehicles we use, the more money we save as a council.

“We currently run 10 electric vehicles and are looking to extend this. It’s a priority for our team and we have a lot of joint ventures with different agencies in place.”
