Alex Cheung, who lives in the city centre, says while it's good to see the number of electric car owners rising, a shortage of charging points in the city centre is"frustrating" for owners.
There are currently 334 across the city, with 129 within the council ward that covers the city centre.However, Alex, who is chairperson for Blythswood and Broomielaw Community Council, says despite this, the infrastructure has not kept up with the number of electric vehicles and he believes there needs to be more fast chargers in particular installed.
He also says there have been occasions where reported problems have not been fixed for"a number of weeks" after the issue has been logged. "We work closely with Charge Point Scotland on the operation of the network, but it must be stressed that faults should always be reported directly to Charge Point Scotland as not all charging units on that network are owned by the council.

It still cheaper to run petrol or diesel .... Until charging costs reduce and battery capacity increases its not going to rise very much. And if it did in a short timeframe there would be dead cars everywhere as there nowhere near enough chargers

Arc-Expressing Accessory Olfactory Bulb Interneurons Support Chemosensory Social Behavioral PlasticityThe accessory olfactory system (AOS) is critical for the development and expression of social behavior. The first dedicated circuit in the AOS, the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), exhibits cellular and network plasticity in male and female mice after social experience. In the AOB, interneurons called internal granule cells (IGCs) express the plasticity-associated immediate-early gene Arc following intermale aggression or mating. Here, we sought to better understand how Arc -expressing IGCs shape AOB information processing and social behavior in the context of territorial aggression. We used “ArcTRAP” (Arc-CreERT2) transgenic mice to selectively and permanently label Arc -expressing IGCs following male-male resident-intruder interactions. Using whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology, we found that Arc -expressing IGCs display increased intrinsic excitability for several days after a single resident-intruder interaction. Further, we found that Arc-expressing IGCs maintain this increased excitability across repeated resident-intruder interactions, during which resident mice increase or “ramp” their aggression. We tested the hypothesis that Arc -expressing IGCs participate in ramping aggression. Using a combination of ArcTRAP mice and chemogenetics (Cre-dependent hM4D(Gi)-mCherry AAV injections), we found that disruption of Arc-expressing IGC activity during repeated resident-intruder interactions abolishes the ramping aggression exhibited by resident male mice. This work shows that Arc -expressing AOB IGC ensembles are activated by specific chemosensory environments, and play an integral role in the establishment and expression of sex-typical social behavior. These studies identify a population of plastic interneurons in an early chemosensory circuit that display physiological features consistent with simple memory formation, increasing our understanding of central chemosensory processing and mammalian social behavior.

Alex Albon believes it is a “privilege” to have long-term stability in F1 with Williams after his rocky stint with Red Bull ⬇️ Albans a great driver and this will show, thank god he got out the redbull carnival.
