View answer246. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of regular and rapid EV charge points in operation here by county. [43100/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 245 and 246 together.
The majority of the existing network of publicly accessible charge points was rolled out by the ESB through its eCars programme. This network includes 77 fast chargers, mainly on national routes. A real-time map showing the charge points, including the status and availability of the charge points, is available on the ESB's website at www.esb.ie/ecars. The management of these charge points is an operational matter for the ESB.
The following table, provided to my Department by ESB eCars, sets out in tabular form the number of current publically available standard charge points and fast chargers available in each county. It should be noted that this list is limited to ESB eCars public charge points and may not include any installations on private sites such as hotels or chargers installed by other entities. For example, Tesla has multiple fast chargers installed at three locations in Louth, Laois and Tipperary which are not included.
