Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Electric Vehicles: Discussion with Irish EV Owners Association
9:30 am
Mr. Paddy Carroll:
While we can all come up with 5,000 objections to having an electric car, we are here today to try to push it and get it out there. Let us achieve the Government's target of 200,000. That is not our target or mine; it is the Government's target. Governments also have to reach CO2 emissions targets. We have to get proactive and that is why we would say to give incentives. If incentives have worked in other countries, surely we should give them a try. Let us promote it and get it on the road.
