EV Recharging Infrastructure Light Duty Vehicle (LDV) National Road Grant Scheme
The second ZEVI TII EV Recharging Infrastructure Light Duty Vehicle National Road Grant Scheme was launched in October 2024.
In October 2024 the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan announced the launch of a second National Road Grant Scheme to support the development of high-powered EV recharging across Ireland’s National Road Network.
The ZEVI TII EV Recharging Infrastructure Light Duty Vehicle (LDV) National Road Grant Scheme – Phase 2 (known as LDV 2), will target over 1,200 km of national single carriageway roads. It will support the roll-out of EV recharging infrastructure pools at a distance of no more than 60 km between them in each direction.
The Scheme is open to petrol / service station operators, car park owners, hotels, supermarkets / retail outlets, and anyone with a publicly accessible site within 3km driving distance of the Scheme roads.
This scheme is part of the wider ZEVI National Road Network EV Charging Plan, which earlier this year awarded grant funding to deliver 131 new high-powered recharging points for electric vehicles at 17 locations along the motorway/dual-carriageway network.
The EV recharging pools supported by both schemes are expected to be available for public use by the end of 2025. They will be followed by further schemes to increase EV recharging infrastructure availability across the National Road Network. These will, in turn, be supported by community-based schemes that target local destinations and neighbourhoods under the ZEVI Regional and Local EV Charging Network Plan.
