Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)

Cathal Crowe: It is probably not necessarily an issue for the Department of Transport but for the Department of Finance, but there needs to be a different taxation and tariff treatment for all of this.

Cathal Crowe: If I may jump in on that point, I know of a person in north County Clare who has bought an electric car but has encountered a problem.
