Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Electric Vehicles: Discussion with Irish EV Owners Association

9:30 am

Mr. Frank Barr:

Yes. That is the first model of the car. The second model uses a heat pump, so it is a little more efficient. The cars are getting better all the time. The car coming next year will have a battery that is 25% bigger so one will be able to go further. It is improving. We are only talking about the short and medium term for incentives to kick-start the process. All the incentives we have mentioned have worked in other countries, and that is why we listed them.
