Ireland to roll out 90 new EV charging hubs nationwide
Published on: Oct 14, 2025
Nearly €10 million investment to strengthen the charging network and support the country’s EV transition.
Ireland’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is set for a major boost as the government announces the development of 90 new EV recharging hubs along the national primary and secondary road network.
The initiative was unveiled by Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien and will deliver 192 new fast-charging points with an average capacity of 250kW. Backed by €9.9 million in grant funding, the new hubs aim to create a reliable and accessible national charging network, ensuring that no driver will be more than 30 kilometres away from a high-powered charging point.
The investment marks the third and final phase of Ireland’s Light Duty Vehicle (LDV) initiative, part of the government’s wider strategy to accelerate EV adoption and reduce transport emissions.
“Today’s announcement marks the final major phase of our Light Duty Vehicle initiative,” said O’Brien. “Together, these schemes aim to ensure that drivers across Ireland will have reliable access to high-powered charging, making the transition to electric practical and convenient. Importantly, this investment will also bring high-quality, high-powered EV charging to more rural locations, helping to promote local economies support tourism, and strengthen regional development.”
The new charging hubs are expected to be operational by the end of the first quarter of 2026. This rollout builds on previous ZEVI investments that have already delivered over 300 new fast and ultra-fast charging points nationwide, bringing Ireland closer to its goal of a comprehensive, future-ready EV charging infrastructure.
