The Implementation Plan outlines the set of actions and deliverables that support the delivery of the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Strategy, spanning charging schemes, policies, and strategy-related work. The Implementation Plan consists of four sections: National EV Charging Network Plan, Schemes (particularly funding), Policy & Strategy, and Communications and Reporting.
The Implementation Plan, in its current and future iterations, will provide a comprehensive range of new and expanded measures to support the delivery of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. In turn, this infrastructure will support the Climate Action Plan ambition that nearly 1 in 3 private cars will be an electric vehicle by 2030.
The outcomes of the plan will be supported by complementary actions from other relevant national policies and strategies, which will support delivery of the Climate Action Plan goals.
The Implementation Plan will be reviewed on a regular basis (at least annually) up to 2025 to measure how we are delivering our goals. This will allow us to adopt any lessons learned into any revisions in relation to new or updated plans as we progress to 2025.
The strategy will be implemented in collaboration with other public agencies including Transport Infrastructure Ireland, the National Transport Authority, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, ESB Networks, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, and local authorities, as well as private stakeholders.
The implementation actions listed below comprise of priority activities for 2024, with some high-level activities for 2025 also specified.
Specifically, scheme development and capital-funding support for infrastructure for 2025 will be reviewed and considered at the end of 2024.
