The Government is fully committed to supporting a significant expansion and modernisation of the EV charging network over the coming years. Having an effective and reliable charging network is an essential part of enabling drivers to make the switch to electric vehicles.

While over 80% of charging is expected to happen at home and will address most users charging needs, there is a need for a seamless public charging network to provide for situations or instances where home charging is not possible.

The table below shows the latest data available for Co. Mayo.

No. Charging Pools	No. Charging Points	Total power KW
65	187	4,621 KW (AC 2,447 + DC 2,174)

It should be noted that data is provided by Charge Point Operators, (CPOs). The Department of Transport is finalising a Data Strategy and associated data platforms that will, once in place, enhance the Department’s ability to monitor the data related to this infrastructure more accurately.
