🚘 A new electric vehicle charging hub, located at Áras an Chontae, was officially unveiled by Minister of State at the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment with responsibility for International and Road Transport, Logistics, Rail and Ports, Seán Canney T.D. earlier today.
💡 This new facility, funded by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland ( ) and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), is a pilot scheme demonstrating a ‘behind-the-meter’ delivery model.
📍 This innovative solution has been carefully designed with consideration for cost efficiency, grid capacity, and environmental impact.
📌 Local residents without driveways or off-street parking can benefit from a reduced overnight AC charging rate for their cars.
✔️ The hub has been designed to ZEVI’s universal design guidelines, ensuring chargers are fully accessible to all users.
▪️ The project will support other national initiatives led by ZEVI, including the Shared Island Sports Club scheme and national roads/motorway schemes.
