Killarney leading the way for electric car charging
Killarney is leading the way for electric car charging points in the county.
According to a new report by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), Killarney has more charge points than all other major towns in the county.
There are five charge locations in or near Killarney, two each operated by ESB Networks and Tesla and one by EasyGo.
There are four in Tralee, three operated by ESB and one Tesla charge point. Kenmare has two, one each by ESB and EasyGo, while Dingle, Killorglin and Listowel have only one each and they are operated by ESB.
Tesla has three more units strategically placed on the Ring of Kerry.
All of Kerry’s charging points are either in town locations are on National Primary Routes.
There are no chargers available in towns like Ballybunion or further west of Dingle highlighting that the move to electric cars is not yet suitable for rural areas.
This is confirmed on a national basis too.
The country currently has just 1,900 fast-charging points, yet the report recommends that Ireland needs 100,000 in the next eight years to meet Government emission targets.
