Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Electric Vehicles: Discussion
Ms Marguerite Sayers:
There is definitely something in terms of customers experiencing EVs because when somebody in a housing estate buys an EV, many of the neighbours get interested as well.
Ten years ago we had a fleet of EVs we gave to ambassadors and asked them to talk about their experience. We also brought EVs to the national ploughing competition and ESB Networks has a number of cars involved in energy trials in Dingle. It is something we have found works. I do not disagree with the Deputy. When something is made accessible to customers, they respond to it.
