Based on the above scenarios the following table presents an estimate of the Total Power Output based on the delivery of 44Kw per Normal Speed Stations and between 150Kw and 300Kw at Fast Speed Stations.

Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland identified a requirement for a total Power Output of 26,581 Kw based on the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AIFR) by 2030. Therefore, the delivery of Scenario 2 which includes for a total of 284 charging stations with the capacity to support between 19,810 Kw and 30,160 Kw (depending on the number of charge points included at fast charging station) is best placed to deliver on the AFIR Power Output targets. It is worth noting that the delivery of the electric vehicle infrastructure will need to be phased to match the delivery of electric vehicles on street with a more modest roll-out of between now and 2025 and ramping up significantly as we move towards 2030. In addition, the delivery of an extensive network of electric vehicle charging stations in Cork will require upgrades to the ESB Network both at a regional and local level and there is a requirement for continual dialogue between ESB Networks and Cork City Council with respect to the roll out and phased delivery of any new infrastructure. Finally, it is proposed to carry out a review of the Strategy following the delivery of the first tranche of publicly accessible infrastructure. This review will examine the spatial demand for the different types of electric vehicle chargers in the city and will assist inform where to focus investment in the delivery of the second tranche of infrastructure. This review will also be able to embrace any changes in technology with respect to either electric vehicles and/ or their charging infrastructure (i.e. induction charging, mobile charging, battery swapping, etc..).
