Greenwashing @Morrisons (?)
Some months ago the Morrisons store in Dunoon (our nearest supermarket) had a big makeover which included the installation of this electric vehicle charging point.
Cathleen and I both drive electric vehicles now and we normally charge at home. None the less having another choice ( and having further local charging points given the rapid rise in EV use)) was welcome
However each time I have been to the store since it was installed three months ago it has not been working.
Today at the store information counter I asked why, only (after the staff member's hurried consultation with a manager) to be told
A) There is a “software fault”
and
B). It was nothing to do with Morrisons and if I wanted to know more I would have to contact the company operating it.
However as the picture shows not only is the charger firmly & clearly placed in Morrisons car park it is firmly & clearly branded as “at Morrisons”.
So either I was just fobbed off or the installation was yet another example of green washing - intended to give the impression of environmental concern ( EV usage is only a small part of necessary change but encouraging it is important) but actually doing nothing for it .
Which is it , Morrisons ?
