In general, the majority of the publicly accessible charging infrastructure are normal speed chargers (i.e. 22kW or less) and have been provided at key attractors in the city including existing petrol filling stations, shopping centres, hotels and existing public car parks. Of the 50 charging stations provided there are 10 currently which facilitate fast charging with the majority of these provided to the south of Cork City. Finally, there is a limited number of on-street publicly available infrastructure chargers (5 No.) to support residents who do not have access to a drive or a private off-street car park. Future Charging Infrastructure Requirements As noted previously the Cork City Council’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy is primarily focussed on the delivery of residential neighbourhood charging infrastructure through the delivery of both Neighbourhood Charging Stations and Community Charging Stations. The neighbourhood charging stations will be focused on areas of the city where the majority of the residents do not have access to a driveway or a private off-street parking space while the community charging stations will be more evenly distributed across the city but with a greater focus in areas where there is limited off-street parking (i.e. the city centre and inner suburbs).
