Historical EV adoption to being #1 fuel type in July 2026

Historical EV adoption to being #1 fuel source vehicle in July 2026

irishevassociation.ie

I said I’d be back with an article on this. July 2026 marks a significant month in the BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles) adoption in Ireland. EV sales are up 61.06% in 2026, making them the #1 fuel type, overtaking all other fuel types!

We've reviewed charging infrastructure development for H1 2026. Highlights include sustained increase in CCS, & a slight decline in Chademo. Leading the increase's ePower, EZO EV Charging, ESB ecars, Applegreen Fast Charge, & Circle K Ireland. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/2026-ch...

2026 Charging Infrastructure Mid Year Review

Progress has been good to date on EV charging rollout in Ireland. But more does need to be done to help speed this up, and AC charging at ends of journeys are important pieces of the puzzle! Happy to contribute to this piece by Conor Pope on behalf of @ievasso.bsky.social

How can Ireland solve its dismal electric vehicle charging infrastructure?

The Irish government's today announced the ICEEV Scheme - €5,000 for scrapping old ICE vehicles, & change to the SEAI Purchase Grant. We get into the details on both. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/ice2ev-...

We participated in the @ZEVIreland Stakeholder Forum yesterday. Two key points were that much infrastructure's coming this year, & that highly anticipated legislative change can be expected in several months (yes, that includes cross-pavement charging)...

We've another @instavoltuk location for you today, 4 160kW CCS + 160kW Chademo, at Lismard Business Park / Portlaoise Retail Park in Portlaoise. instavolt.co.uk/location/144...

More fast chargers on the way for Limerick City and County Council as Weev have started installs. This one's on O'Callaghan Strand.

Through our engagement with GEVA, The Hungarian E-mobility Association (ELMOB) have shared a very interesting test they have done taking 31 EVs and driving them on the motorway (at proper 130 km/h speed, the legal limit in Hungary) until they died, at around 0°C. 1/4

It's January 2026, time to see how charging infrastructure's developed over the course of 2025. It proved to a big year for getting hardware into the ground, so check out the article to find out what changed as we examine multiple aspects of the data - location, charging speed, CPO’s, & more.

We'd a cursory look at the numbers for 2025, & we're seeing that the number of CCS connectors available increased 43%, from 1,039 to 1,487

ESB ecars launched their latest 8 vehicle high power charging hub at Frascati Centre yesterday. We attended the opening & have the full details on the location here. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/esb-eca...

Why more Irish drivers are switching to BEVs in 2025

When we look at the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem and transition, sustainability is a key aspect that needs to continuously improve and come in many facets. So, what does part of this look like?

Today's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, so we'd like to draw attention to ZEVI's Universal Design Guidelines, which "aim to make EV charging infrastructure accessible to all users, summarising key considerations when designing, installing and operating EV charging infrastructure"

Happy to report that ePower took on Aldi, i.e. Shell Recharge, nationwide. A number of locations remain to be moved over though majority will appear for you on their app at this point.
