National EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy 2026-2028
The National EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy 2026-2028 sets out the next phase of Ireland’s plan to expand and future proof Ireland’s electric vehicle charging network.
The Strategy delivers on the Programme for Government commitment to develop a new national EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy, and sets out the national pathway for the continued delivery of charging infrastructure that stays ahead of growing demand as more drivers switch to electric vehicles.
This Strategy outlines a planned and phased approach to delivering a comprehensive national charging network to 2030, with detailed actions focused on the period to 2028. It reflects the requirements of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation, national climate legislation and the need for a balanced, equitable and user‑centred rollout.
The Strategy also supports the ongoing development of guidance, standards and enabling legislation, including universal design principles, smart charging capabilities and the introduction of a private wire’s framework.
