I said I’d be back with an article on this. July 2026 marks a significant month in the BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) adoption in Ireland. EV sales are up 61.06% in 2026, making them the #1 fuel type, overtaking all other fuel types!

We've reviewed charging infrastructure development for H1 2026. Highlights include sustained increase in CCS, & a slight decline in Chademo. Leading the increase's ePower, EZO EV Charging, ESB ecars, Applegreen Fast Charge, & Circle K Ireland. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/2026-ch...

Progress has been good to date on EV charging rollout in Ireland. But more does need to be done to help speed this up, and AC charging at ends of journeys are important pieces of the puzzle! Happy to contribute to this piece by Conor Pope on behalf of @ievasso.bsky.social
