Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Carbon Budgets: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Caoimhín Ó Ciaruáin:
I will make an opening comment and then hand over to Dr. O'Grady who looks after the electrification piece. The cost of that switch remains a barrier, certainly in the consumer perception. The big challenge here is to get beyond that in terms of the total cost of ownership piece. In the next couple of months, we will look to establish the office of low-emitting vehicles which will address much of the consumer challenge with regard to that switch. I will pass over to Dr. O'Grady, who will give a bit more detail on that.
