A Queensland council has voted - again - to end eight years of work to install a public EV charger on the grounds of possible human rights abuses in battery manufacturing.
This article has been updated to correct an error that the Livingstone shire council refused to rescind the decision to pause all EV charger installations on the Capricorn coast.
Last week the Livingstone Shire council voted to cancel a deal to install the Capricorn Coast’s first EV charger, and a followup meeting held on Thursday to reverse the decision initially failed to win over the required number of four councillors.
