Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Professor Sonia Seneviratne:

Under the most ambitious scenario, more electric vehicles would be sold in 2025 than combustion engines. That would be a major game-changer. There would be other benefits, such as less air pollution.
