The councils in Dublin have launched plans to have more than 1,600 electric car charge points by 2025.

It's part of the country's plan to ease dependence on fossil fuels, and meet carbon emission targets from the EU.

Each of the local authorities in Dublin is now asking for public submissions on where the charge points should be.

There's an overall plan to have one million electric cars on the country's roads by 2030.

 

David Storey, Director of Services for Environment, Climate Action and Active Travel at Fingal County Council & chair of the EV steering group said:

“There is a need for significant improvement in the number and type of charging points across Dublin. It’s important that we support people as they transition to using Electric Vehicles and take into account the varying needs of those who live in places where they cannot easily plug their vehicle in to charge. There is an estimated 34,000 who will rely solely on public charging spaces. This strategy is a step forward in that mission.”
