There is no public electric vehicle charge point in the entire Greystones Municipal District, which has a population of 26,000.

Greystones is a very environmentally aware area, with many people keen to contribute to solving our environmental problems. Yet, the lack of any public charge points is proving to be a barrier to people signing up to an EV car.

There are currently over 650 ESB standard public charge points and 78 fast chargers across the country. And the Govt has just given an extra €20m to upgrade this network.

We call on the Minister for Communications, Climate Change and Environment to help the people of the Greystones Municipal District do their bit for the environment and install EV Charging Points in the town and environs.
