Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Brian Cooke:

There are no incentives for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and we are not asking for any incentives. There have not been any incentives for five or six years. The focus for us on favourable taxation treatment or favourable benefits is entirely on electric vehicles.

There is a move under way. Looking at our own file, there are 22 EV models costing less than €30,000 and, by definition, they are smaller cars.
