From home charging infrastructure including solar panels and batteries, to EnergiHub - our innovative app that makes charging at home cheaper and easier. And with our new fast charging hubs around Ireland, we're helping to fuel a cleaner, greener journey for those longer drives."
Paul Farrell of ZEVI (Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland), discussed the Government’s commitment to supporting a greener future: “As Ireland transitions to a more sustainable future, EVs have emerged as a key component of reducing carbon emissions in the transport sector.
The Government, through Zero Emission Infrastructure Ireland, are fully committed to supporting the switch to zero-emission vehicles and are investing €100m in EV infrastructure up to 2025, while maintaining the generous range of vehicle incentives.
As the upcoming Nevo Electric Vehicle Show in November demonstrates, with further improvements in technology and more brands and models entering the Irish market, offering more options and possibilities, we foresee more drivers will choose electric, as the industry continues to deliver a wider variety of EVs to suit all needs and we transition from the early adopter to the mainstream majority”
