- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: If there are going to be 52 hubs for multiple-vehicle charging, how many physical charging points will there be nationwide, even if there is only one in a location? There are 1,450 charging points and 52 hubs. Outside of that there will be much smaller areas.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Will the 1,450 charging points all be located within the 52 hubs?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is the point. What is the total number of locations nationwide where someone will be able to drive to and access a charging point?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: At this moment in time what is the priority of the Department of Transport for the next 12 months? I get the charging points and I welcome the fast ones. That is great.

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: How long will that take?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Good. There is an end-of-year deadline in regard to charging.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: No, I always look at deadlines. At the end of the day, the charging points are key if we are to expedite this, as is the infrastructure of the local authorities. I will go back to Mr. Meally on the people charging at home. What grants do they get?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Roughly what does a home charger cost?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Is there any area where that can be a bit like Irish Water, dare I say it, and you can have charging points being brought to the door? Will they just run off their home supply? Is that how it will evolve?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: A further point for Dr. O'Grady relates to second-hand cars. There is huge scope there. Is a defined policy being drawn up in that area?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: What is the timeframe on that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: That is great. I have a final point for Ms Ward regarding ESB e-cars. What is the overall role of the ESB in the roll-out of this network? Is there another section within the ESB that will have an involvement here as well?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: Do you link back into ESB Networks to make certain that where you are looking at charging points it is able to deal with the supply issue?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: At this moment in time, ESB Networks is by a mile the biggest operator in the market.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: I will go back to Mr. Brennan on the hybrid versus battery situation. Will he explain that to me? I am the ordinary Joe Bloggs who really wants to understand this in a very unscientific way.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy: Discussion (13 Jul 2022)
