Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion

Dr. Aoife O'Grady:

There comes a point when everyone realises it is actually moving. If a person is purchasing a car now, why would he or she purchase one with an ICE? I particularly think this is the case with vehicles because so many people who purchase new cars do so with the intent of selling them on after two to three years. If that resale value is moving and people only want an EV, if they purchase an ICE vehicle how will they be able to sell it? I think that gives an added pressure.
