Bridlington Councillors are concerned that results of an EV charging trial in the town could be affected if the wrong chargers are used.
East Riding Council is planning to install a number of public 'on street' chargers to assess how well used they are.
But Bridlington's Mayor - Councillor John Arthur - is worried that the plan to use 7 kilowatt chargers needs to be looked at.
Bridlington Town council says it welcomes the trial of EV chargers in the town but wants to make sure the right type of chargers are used.
Councillor Arthur - worries that if the wrong type of chargers are used it could skew the results of the experiment.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is to invest £400,000 to install around 100 new public electric vehicle (EV) charging points in 2023 in order to improve the entire network as more electric powered cars hit the roads.
The scheme is part of the council's climate change pledge and is designed to support residents and visitors and encourage greater take up of electric powered vehicles, as the Government's ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars in 2030 gets ever closer.
The points are due to be fitted at key sites in Anlaby, Beverley, Bridlington, Brough, Cottingham, Driffield, Flamborough, Goole, Hedon, Hessle, Hornsea, Market Weighton, Pocklington and Snaith, with more locations to follow in 2024.
All the chargers will be free standing and provide power for between two and five vehicles at a time, depending on the available power supply in that area.
