Report a fault
If you come across a charging station with a fault you can report it online. Please note that chargers are not operated by the council but are instead run by ChargePlace Scotland.
Once you report a fault ChargePlace Scotland (CPS) will assist you in fixing the unit over the phone if possible. If that is not possible, CPS will contact an engineer to fix the unit.
The engineer will visit the unit and assess the fault. The unit will be repaired by the engineer or the council will receive a quote to fix the unit and an engineer will revisit the site to carry out the works.
