EV charging network expansion

A €4.2m cross-border project launched yesterday will expand the fast-charger network for electric vehicles, writes Brian Byrne.

The EU-funded project is a Europe-wide test-bed for EV charging infrastructure, and involves both the ESB and the Department for Regional Development Northern Ireland (DRD NI).

The investment involves the roll out of 46 new fast (rapid) charge-points across Ireland and the development of supporting IT systems.
