The ESB is to roll out 50 new charging points for electric cars across the country, which will provided up to 100 km of electric driving range in as little as six minutes.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he said: "Electricity generation is responsible for 20% of our total greenhouse gas emissions and transport is also responsible for 20% of our greenhouse gas emissions and while the emissions in generation are going down, the emissions in transport are going up.
5000 charging points is what’s needed for proper infrastructure. This is really a joke. How can anyone in rural Ireland take a chance with lack of charging points? The cost of electric cars is prohibitive, VW Golf €40k 🤷🏻♂️
30 KWh/100 km in 6 minutes = 300KW charging. That's one serious charger.
RTEbusiness Great!
