The spatial distribution of both the neighbourhood charging stations and the community charging stations has been based on estimated walk times within the built-up area of Cork City. The estimated built-up area of Cork City including its neighbouring towns of Ballincollig, Glanmire, Tower/ Cloghroe and Blarney is approximately 70 km 2 with approximately 20% of this area (14km 2 ) where the majority of residents do not have access to a driveway or private off-street car park. A number of strategies are presented below to derive an estimate of the number of charging stations needed to meet the future needs of the population based on walking distances to allow for an even geographical distribution of stations which in time can then be monitored to determine a subsequent investment as a greater number of Electric Vehicles come on street beyond 2030. • Scenario 1: Normal Speed Chargers within a 72 metre walk (approximately a one minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure within a 360 metre walk (approximately a five minute walk) of those living in homes without access to private off-street parking and within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes with driveways. • Scenario 2: Normal Speed Chargers within a 144 metre walk (less than a two minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure within a 360 metre walk (approximately a five minute walk) of those living in homes without access to private off-street parking and within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes with driveways. • Scenario 3: Normal Speed Chargers within a 216 metre walk (less than a three minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure within a 360 metre walk (approximately a five minute walk) of those living in homes without access to private off-street parking and within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes with driveways. • Scenario 4: Normal Speed Chargers and Fast Charging infrastructure co-located within a 360 metre walk (approximately a five minute walk) of those living in homes without access to private off-street parking and within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes with driveways. • Scenario 5: Normal Speed Chargers within a 144 metre walk (less than a two minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure provided within a 800 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes both with and without access to private off street parking. • Scenario 6: Normal Speed Chargers within a 216 metre walk (less than a three minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure provided within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk) of those living in homes both with and without access to private off street parking. • Scenario 7: Normal Speed Chargers within a 144 metre walk (less than a two minute walk) of those living in homes without access to a driveway or private off-street parking; Fast Charging infrastructure within a 720 metre walk (approximately a 10 minute walk)of those living in homes without access to private off-street parking and within a 1080 metre walk (approximately a 15 minute walk) of those living in homes with driveways.
