Cork City Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy
SEA Environmental Report
Business users including light vehicle owners;
•
• Visitors to the city (including EV visitors to homes without a home charger); • Taxis; • Homes with two Electric Vehicles; • Homes where the deployment of a home charger is not possible or overly expensive; • Individual home(s) which do not have access to private off-street parking but are in an area where predominately homes are provided with driveways; • Redundancy should there be a technical problem with the home charger; and • Support the possible delivery of multi-modal interchanges to include, car share schemes, (e)bike hire, and other community services (i.e. parcel delivery, etc.). Due regard shall be had to architectural and cultural heritage assets in the city when siting the Electric Vehicle charging stations. In addition, workplace charging points will be provided by some employers to meet the needs of EV owners who do not have access to private driveways and the provision of such EV charging infrastructure is encouraged for new developments through development management where there is a requirement in the Cork City Development Plan that a certain number of new parking spaces are to be set aside for EV charging. Principle 5: Across the EV charging network, EV charging systems will be interoperable and as simple as possible to use. The delivery of interoperability will primarily be the responsibility of Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland, however Cork City Council’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy will ensure a consistent approach to infrastructure delivery across the jurisdiction to facilitate the introduction of common data and reporting requirements across the country. The ambition of the Strategy is to meet the needs of the Climate Action Plan target of 940,000 electric vehicles in total by 2030 2.4 Relationship of the Strategy with Other Relevant Plans and Programmes An examination of how the Strategy interrelates with other national, regional and local plans and programmes has taken place and is documented in Appendix 1.
