A £3.27m bid to upgrade the EV charging network across Northern Ireland will see the entirety of the public charging network enhanced for the benefit of communities and electric vehicle users.
Plans for the UK government funding allocation include replacing 100 fast chargers, the equivalent of 200 charge points; upgrading 20 unreliable fast chargers to rapid chargers, more than doubling the existing capacity; and introducing five high-power charging hubs in key locations, which can charge multiple vehicles at the same time.
This would deliver high power charging hubs for the first time in Northern Ireland. The aim of the programme is to encourage people to adopt EVs and promote green travel, as the transition goes ahead to cleaner and greener modes of transport.
