The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), currently provides up to €5,000 in grant support for the private purchase of a new electric car and up to €3,800 for the commercial purchase of a new electric van. The vehicles in question may be battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or plug-in electric hybrid vehicles (PHEVs).   I understand that over 4,800 grants were paid in 2020.

In light of the SEAI's responsiblity in the matter, I have forward the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct response.  Please contact my Office if no reply is received within 10 working days.
