Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Examination of the Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Mr. John Melvin:

I expect that would be part of the vision for the electrification of transport. In the longer term, if nine out of ten people have an electric vehicle, they all arrive home at the same time and they all charge at the same time, local distribution issues might arise. As we have supported ESB Networks in a trial to understand the impacts of electrical vehicle charging and electric vehicle infrastructure, the Irish distribution system operator, DSO, has a head start in understanding those impacts. It is, therefore, something that could be dealt with or handled in the current structures.
