877. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the number of electric vehicle charging stations in Limerick county and city, respectively; the number of electric vehicles registered in County Limerick in 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe majority of the existing network of publicly accessible charge points was rolled out by the ESB through its eCars programme. This network includes circa 80 fast chargers, mainly on national routes. A map showing the location of these charge points, including their status and availability, is available on the ESB's website at www.esb.ie/ecars. ESB eCars informs my Department that there are 26 publically available standard charge points and 4 fast chargers available in Limerick (city and 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. Figures provided by the Central Statistics Office indicate that there were 67 electric vehicles registered in Limerick in 2018.
