Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2025
132. Deputy Michael Murphy asked the Minister for Transport to provide the composition of the national electric vehicle fleet by use category (private household, business/lease, commercial, and other categories), broken down separately for BEVs and PHEVs; and any trends in fleet composition from 2020 to date in 2025. [67942/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe composition of the national electric vehicle fleet broken down in tabular format is provided for the deputy below.
Between 2020 and 2025, Ireland's fleet has experienced a growing share of new registrations in BEVs and hybrids. Incentivised schemes provided by ZEVI has allowed for this growth. CAP 2025 EV sales targets have been exceeded, signalling potential acceleration toward national goals by 2030.
Fleet electrification is expected to continue to provide the greatest share of emissions abatement in the short-to-medium term for the transport sector. Over €100m has been allocated in 2025 to support the continued transition to electric vehicles through funding for EV grants and EV charging infrastructure. This underpins the Government’s commitment to making electric vehicles accessible to all.
The Society of the Irish Motor Industry hold all details related to the registration of vehicles in Ireland.
