Proposal
Summary of Modification
Principle 3
Principle 3 in Section 4.0 has been amended to include the following red text: For the majority of EV users, home charging will remain the main solution: The Cork City Council’s Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Strategy will identify areas in the city where homes do not have access to a private adjacent parking space and where it is not possible to have a private home charger. The National Electric Vehicle Charging Strategy has also allowed for the shared use of domestic chargers among neighbours which could be considered for some suburban residential areas in Cork City but does not form part of this Strategy which has focused on public accessible EV charge points. Principle 4 in Section 4.0 has been amended to include the following red text at the end: 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. The following text under "Future Charging Infrastructure Requirements" in Section 4.0 has been amended. The table following the text has also been amended to remove "Number of Charge Points" with "Total Power Output": 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. The following text under "Future Charging Infrastructure Requirements" in Section 4.0 has been amended: 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. The following red text under "Key Siting Principles" in Section 5.0 has been included: Ultra-Fast En-route Charging will be available in the Cork City region and along the National Road serving the city (i.e. M8 Dublin Road) and the most appropriate sites will be identified by Transport Infrastructure Ireland as part of their wider study looking at supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure along the entire national road network. The following red text has been added to the end of "Cork City South (including the city centre)" in Section 5.0: It is worth noting that the delivery of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations within covered car parks will need to ensure their design reflects any potential fire safety concerns and direct consultation with the Fire and Building Control Department is recommended. The following red text has been added to the end of the "Summary" in Section 5.0: 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.
