Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Developing Ireland's Sustainable Transport System: Discussion
Mr. Kevin Brady:
I would echo that. There is greater demand for electric vehicles than there is supply globally. In many ways, what we are hearing from vehicle importers and the SEAI, which runs the grant scheme, is that the more attractive a country looks for electric vehicles, the more likely a supplier is to send vehicles there. As Ms Behan stated, the first part is the generous round of incentives and the second part is the investment we are making in the charging network, both of which will help a lot.
