Ireland Launches $120 Million Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy

Ireland’s Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan, has unveiled the Electric Vehicles Charging Infrastructure Strategy 2022-2025, which will invest €100 million in the construction of public charging infrastructure over the next three years.

The strategy outlines a path and specific steps for creating a nationwide network of EV chargers, with the goal of providing high-powered chargers every 60 km on Ireland’s motorway network, as well as home and apartment charging, residential neighborhood charging, destination charging, and en-route charging.

Ryan emphasized that the decisions will be made in collaboration with local authorities and that the strategy will aim to improve local conditions as much as possible. Currently, 80% of EV charging in Ireland occurs at home, so the strategy will focus on public charging points, but it will continue to support home charging options in the future.

This plan has undergone public consultation and was originally announced last year to guide charging infrastructure investment until 2025.
