, but I live in an apartment. I find there is very little information or discussion around the charging options for apartment dwellers. Could you address?has in part addressed this issue with the introduction of grants and supports for charging in apartments and other shared areas.
“That’s what we want to see in terms of how they’re proposing to actually charge, and the passed-on cost when the infrastructure goes in, and how is it is all going to be managed. So we need to understand that as part of any grant application” said Declan Meally from the SEAI. “We believe that all grants should be directed towards smart chargers that can respond to the grid’s needs. any type of charger, dumb or otherwise, can be installed by any electrician and grant claims can be raised with SEAI. This will be a significant missed opportunity and will create issues in the future if not addressed now and could undermine ‘Smart Cities’ initiatives. The move to a smart grid needs to happen before the rapid increase in demand, not afterwards.
