ZEVI EV Charging Infrastructure LDV En-Route Grant Scheme
We are working with partners Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI) to accelerate the delivery of Electric Vehicle (EV) recharging infrastructure across Ireland's National Road Network by incentivising private sector involvement.
LDV Scheme #1
The first ZEVI EV Charging Infrastructure LDV En-Route Grant Scheme was launched by TII and ZEVI in February 2024. In July 2024 the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan announced the locations of 17 new high-powered recharging pools to be rolled out under this scheme on the National Road Network.
A total of 131 high-powered recharging points will be built across 17 recharging pools providing an additional 24,260 kilowatts (24 megawatts) recharging capacity.
Each of these recharging pools provides banks of Fast and Ultra-Fast recharging points, so that people can charge their EVs quickly. The infrastructure will be built by private business, grant aided by the Department of Transport.
