Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Decarbonising Transport: Discussion

5:10 pm

Mr. Paul Mulvaney:

The standard chargers were the only ones available on the market when we started installing the national EV charging infrastructure. As technology has developed and as the car manufacturers have become more engaged and produced more cars, a key issue was establishing quicker ways to charge cars. A key part of that was battery technology. The standard chargers, which are not called slow chargers, are the majority of chargers one sees around the country. We have installed the DC chargers, which are the fast chargers, on the motorway circuits in the various rest stops along the motorway.
