Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion

2:00 pm

Ms Laura Behan:

Representatives from the SEAI were here last week and, in light of all the other matters arising, probably did not get an opportunity to discuss the work the organisation is doing in the public awareness space relating to electric vehicles. There is a very strong public awareness campaign generated by the SEAI that is now being rolled out, particularly across social media. There is an app that will show the availability of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and whether it is free. A great deal of work is happening in that area and the SEAI is looking to enhance that constantly. We note that it is incredibly important.
