Accelerating Towards a Sustainable Future: Ireland's EV Charging Mandate for Car Parks

As Ireland makes strides towards a greener future, the implementation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in car parks has become a pivotal requirement. This blog explores the significance of Ireland's Climate Action Plan 2023 mandate for EV charging stations in car parks and how Frontline Energy is positioned to assist car park owners and managers in meeting these requirements while embracing sustainability.

The Mandate:

Under Ireland's Climate Action Plan 2023, all car parks are mandated to install EV charging stations by next year. This directive is part of a broader initiative to reduce carbon emissions and foster a more sustainable transportation ecosystem. The mandate applies to both new and existing car spaces across residential, commercial, and public areas, ensuring widespread access to EV charging infrastructure.

Compliance Guidelines:

To comply with the mandate, car park owners and managers must adhere to specific guidelines regarding the installation of EV charging stations. Non-residential buildings with over 20 parking spaces must have at least one charging point by 2025, while new or extensively renovated buildings with more than 10 parking spaces must provide one charging point for every five parking spaces.

Benefits of EV Charging:

The implementation of EV charging stations not only facilitates the transition to electric vehicles but also promotes the development of a robust charging network nationwide. By integrating solar energy and electric mobility, we can significantly reduce environmental impact and pave the way for a sustainable future.

Financial Incentives:

Businesses can take advantage of financial incentives such as the SEAI Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) and government grants, including the €300 SEAI Home Charger Electric Vehicle Grant and the SEAI Apartment Charger Grant. These incentives offer opportunities for businesses to reduce tax liabilities while contributing to a sustainable future.
