THE GOVERNMENT HAS announced a €20 million investment to provide 50 charging hubs across the country along motorways and national roads.
The Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment Richard Bruton made the announcement today, saying that the aim was “to tackle ‘range anxiety’ and encourage drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles”. There are 5,444 electric vehicles in Ireland, and around 1,200 charging ports before this announcement. Ryan says that at the moment, the spread of electric car hubs are “typically stronger in Dublin than in the southwest and northwest”.
I don’t see a reason why for every 100 car parking spaces, the business shouldn’t provide five electric vehicle charging points. It’s a cost to the business certainly, but it’s also an attraction to the business. “That regulatory approach is the next step,” he said.
400k per charging point? That's the FineGael way.
The kids in the Congo appreciate Ireland’s efforts to combat climate change I’m sure. If it gets much hotter they may not be able to keep up their prodigious cobalt extraction. The sooner we reduce emissions, the better the chance they can work harder. ClimateJustice
It's a start
Not enough. But Leo needs his spin money, so we can't expect too much
Yes, it's enough to cajole lots of people into buying electric cars and enough to make them very unhappy 3 to 5 years later, when they'll no longer be able to find a vacant charging slot for love nor money. .
