ESB has reached a milestone of 1,000 installed electric vehicle (EV) charge points in Ireland including domestic, commercial and public. This means that all counties and 85% of major cities and towns have now access to EV charging infrastructure.
ESB along with key partners will continue to progress this groundbreaking project with the installation of further charge points throughout the country to include the remainder of towns with populations greater than 1,500. This development is in line with the rollout and availability of new Electric Vehicles to complement those already on the market
Dermot McArdle, Manager of ESB ecars said; “ESB is pleased to have 1,000 operational charge-points installed throughout the country and that Ireland is on track to have one of the most advanced electric vehicle’s infrastructure in Europe.
The availability of charge-points are key to the uptake of electric vehicles making them practical alternatives for inter-urban as well as daily commutes”, he said.
