Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Peter O'Shea:
I will take the second part first. It is a number of small tens of millions to deal with the fast-charging networks. That is where I would spend it - on the motorways and the main thoroughfares. As I mentioned earlier, analysis from our EV business unit, ecars, indicates that the vast majority of charging will be done at home rather than on journeys. I would spend it on the fast-charging network on motorways but I would also spend it on revamping the existing set of public chargers. It is a relatively small expenditure in the overall scale of discussing billions of euro of transition costs across the entire energy sector. This is a small piece of it.
