ChargePlace Scotland have a Type 2 7kW EV charging point for 2 vehicles on Crown Street in the Gorbals. Unfortunately, I have found them very inaccessible especially for wheelchair users. The bays are a small standard size and there is no protected space around them. There is a bit of pavement to the left of the left bay, but the closest lowered curb is on the corner of Cumberland Street, 3 spaces over to the right. Since the interface of the charging terminal faces the parking bays, though, getting onto the pavement does not help you there. There are no cables provided and the sockets are on either side of the terminal, as are narrow metal bollards. The bays themselves are cobbled.
