Amharc ar fhreagraThe Shared Island Sports Club EV Charging Infrastructure Scheme is a €15 million all-island initiative supporting the installation of publicly accessible EV chargers in sports clubs. The aim of the scheme is to install a network of publicly accessible EV chargers in communities throughout the country, through their local sports clubs.
The scheme is being administered by Pobal on behalf of ZEVI. All terms and conditions of the grant can be found on the Pobal website at www.pobal.ie. The shortlisted clubs which are all affiliated with a recognised national governing body and meet the scheme requirements (e.g. 3-phase electricity, public access, proper amenities) took part in a national webinar run by Pobal and ZEVI in August where the next steps of the scheme were outlined.
Clubs are now actively engaging with the Charge Point Operators with permitting and subsequent installation works expected to begin in Q4 once the individual operating agreements between the Charge Point Operators and clubs are agreed.
