The first wave of delivery has focused on the provision of fast speed charging infrastructure to provide a broader provision of infrastructure therefore allowing a greater number of people to avail of the new charging infrastructure. This will give confidence to the people that charging their electric vehicles should not be a hinderance in their decision to purchase such a vehicle or not. The utilisation of the first wave of infrastructure will also be evaluated before finalising the delivery of subsequent infrastructure to ensure locations with higher demand are catered for and that there is continuous equal access to such infrastructure from all parts of society. It is worth noting that the delivery of Electric Vehicle Charge Points on private lands that are publicly accessible (such as shopping centres, hotels/restaurants, service stations, sport grounds, tourist attractions, etc..) will continue to be encouraged through the development planning process.
