SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTOWN/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, March 23, 2021

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

To ask the Chief Executive to give an update report to this committee on the proposed locations for EV Charging Points, in Lucan, Palmerstown and North Clondalkin and will he make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

SDCC are aware of the need for EV charging infrastructure in the county. A regional Strategy is in development to examine the anticipated demand across the 4 Dublin LAs over the next decade.
Before any electric vehicle charging infrastructure can be provided to the public, a source of funding for a roll out project must be established. Once a source of funding has been identified, procurement and deployment of equipment can progress.
SDCC are not currently installing EV charging units, we are however developing mapping of suitable locations where public EV charging facilities could be deployed. If you wish to forward an address/Eircode and contact details, the location can be included for future consideration. Currently ESB ecars provide 22kw charging facilities at Tesco Lucan, Lucan Shopping Centre, Tesco Clondalkin and at the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre.
