Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion

Mr. Graham Brennan:

We are conscious of the differences between the home charger scheme and the vehicle scheme. The vehicle scheme works through dealerships. The home charger scheme works directly with customers, so one person applies each time. We are constantly looking at improving it, so we are looking at changing some of the evidence we require. The committee might hear more about that next week. We would make it easier by requiring less evidence.

We use Safe Electric to help us to confirm that installations are valid. This also helps Safe Electric with safety and regulating electricians. We are looking to have that check in parallel with other checks to speed it up.
