EV drivers in Ireland have welcomed the announcement from the Irish Ministry of Transport that 17 new high-speed charging hubs will be installed by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first part of a major government plan to grow the country\u2019s network of EV chargers, the chargers will have an average of just 45km between them with an average of seven charging points at each one. They will include both fast and ultra-fast charging points of 150kW or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEach of these recharging pools providers banks of fast and ultra-fast charging points, so that people can charge their EVs quickly,\u201d said the Ministry of Transport. \u201cThis initiative will bolster Ireland\u2019s Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure and promote sustainable transportation. It is the first part of a major plan to ensure that there are more recharging points along our roads. A second grant scheme concentrating on national roads is expected to open later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis will complement our other commitments such as the EV purchase grant scheme, which will remain unchanged again next year, our grants for home chargers and the continued VRT reduction for EVs,\u201d said Eamon Ryan, Minister for Transport. \u201cAdd this to the greater choice and price competitiveness on the market, we hope more and more people will be encouraged to choose electric.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5998,"template":"","class_list":["post-5997","news-and-press","type-news-and-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
