Ireland Awarded €1.5m For Electro-Mobility

Ireland is to be awarded an EU grant of €1.5m to introduce electro-mobility.

The funding will be mainly used to install 3,500 charging posts around the country.

Gerry Wardell of the CODEMA Energy Agency said: "It could also go to developing the systems for payment etc that will go with those, and they're hugely complex.”

The new infrastructure will be introduced in the coming months.
