How easy is it to have an electric car in Scotland?

Plus Janey Godley tells us about her new book and the inspiration for the story, her sausage dog Honey! And how a brief encounter on a coach journey led to a life-long love story.

PHONE-IN
One in four-public charging points for electric vehicles in Scotland was found to be faulty -- according to BBC analysis.  The Disclosure programme found over 500 problems on the network, with many drivers saying it's becoming increasingly unreliable.  The Scottish Government says they'll interrogate the BBC's findings with officials. 
BBC Disclosure - Electric Cars - Ready for the Charge? is available on BBC Iplayer and on BBC One Scotland this evening at eight. 
So what’s stopping you buying an electric car…or maybe you already drive one?
