Mr. Declan Meally:

The electricity operators, EirGrid and ESB Networks, were looking at the local grid. Up to 500,000 cars can be taken on the grid as it stands. We have 55,000 cars, therefore, there is no issue at the moment. There may be an issue as we start to evolve towards 2030 but they will be taken into account as the grid expands and develops. We could not add 1 million cars now but we can add up to 500,000 without having significant changes to the grid.
