In what seems like the most appropriate piece of news of all time, Ireland's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is installing electric car charging points at its various offices around the country, including at its headquarters in Co. Wexford.
Install and maintain
ePower, the Irish electric car charging specialist, has won the contract from the EPA through an open tender process and will install and maintain the chargers. To accommodate the EPA's growing fleet of electric vehicles, 13 chargers will be installed across seven different locations.
Proud to support the EPA
CEO of ePower John O'Keeffe says they're proud to support the EPA: "We were thrilled to get the opportunity to work with the team at the EPA. They're an incredibly important organisation doing great work around the country and we look forward to playing our part in making sure they can do that with a reliable network of EV chargers."
New base in Dublin
The announcement of the EPA contract is a part of the major growth seen at ePower in recent months. The company has opened a new base in Dublin to help it meet the growing demand for its services. With Government targets of 180,000 Electric Vehicles (EVs) on our roads by 2025 and 945,000 by 2030, the company is increasingly active in installing public chargers nationally. This ties in with Ireland's aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 51 per cent by 2030 and reach net zero no later than 2050, within which the transport sector plays a significant role.
ePower says that it is the number one provider of domestic charging in Ireland by market share and that it: "aims to give every driver the ability to run and charge an electric vehicle wherever they are."
