Solving Ireland’s EV charging problem

Ireland's electric vehicle charging network is currently facing a number of challenges, including geographical disparity, high costs and limited chargers. With people all around the country saying they just cannot afford to keep up with their cars even with government initiatives… But, hope is not lost! Germany may have solved the urban EV charging problem. Düsseldorf Stadtwerke, the local municipal authority, has installed one of six so-called ‘kerb-chargers’. To discuss, Kieran is joined by Derek Scally, the Berlin Correspondent for the Irish Times. Image: Energy Saving Trust
