A recent AA Ireland survey revealed that only 10% of over 1,000 customers plan to go fully electric with their next car, with half doubting that EVs are environmentally superior. Despite these challenges, Mr. Ryan remains focused on Ireland's climate action plan and international targets.
The government's target of one million EVs by 2030 seems ambitious, as new EV registrations have fallen by 16% this year. However, there are over 125,000 EVs registered, and this number is expected to rise as prices drop.
EGO EV supports this vision by providing efficient and accessible charging solutions, aiming to ease the transition for consumers. Our chargers are designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life, making it easier for you to adopt sustainable practices.
With manufacturers ramping up EV production, upfront costs are predicted to become comparable to traditional combustion engine cars. This price parity, coupled with increasing fuel prices, will make EV ownership more attractive and competitive.
The variety of EVs available is growing, which fosters competition and drives down prices. However, this can also create uncertainty for potential buyers as the market stabilizes.
The Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI) office is actively working to address EV misinformation. While EVs are still relatively new, advancements continue to make them a viable alternative to petrol and diesel cars.
The Department of Transport has allocated €115.8 million this year to support EV adoption, including funding for vehicles and charging infrastructure. Incentives include a purchase grant for EV batteries, VRT relief, and a home charge purchase grant.
Public charge points have increased from 1,700 to 2,400, with more to come. A public consultation on regional and local EV infrastructure plans will commence soon, marking a shift towards a more strategic, government-supported approach.
As Ireland moves towards a more sustainable future, consider EGO EV chargers to ensure your EV experience is seamless and efficient. Join us in supporting a cleaner, greener Ireland.
