Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Ms Patricia Waller:

On the public accessible network, ESB Ecars has funding to put in place a basic public network for us. The ESB Ecars website has a map of all of their locations and sites. The question the Senator might be asking is whether we have a map of the extensive network. While ESB Ecars has infrastructure in place, commercial operators in the market, such as EasyGo, Ionity and Tesla, also have charge point sites all over Ireland. We do not have a map at the moment that combines all of those. Early next year, we will establish the office of low emission vehicles and work is under way to prepare for that. The original AFIR placed a statutory requirement on us to do something like this and the new office will take that in hand.
