The Oireachtas Parliamentary Budget Office published an overview of EV incentives here compared with other countries. A lot of the other countries are pushing on motor tax, free parking and particular zones where people can drive. I am a believer in electric vehicles. They make eminent sense. However, whether it is real or not, people have concerns about the battery. Price is a major factor. They are the two key components that I find. Should we be giving higher grants to encourage people to take up EVs?
