Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 197, 198 and 245 together.
Providing a sustainable, low-carbon transport system is a key priority of my Department. The Programme for Government commits to a 7% average annual emissions reduction to 2030; ultimately, the goal is for a zero-emission mobility system by 2050. The national car and van fleet accounts for almost 60% of all land transport emissions, and so a transition to low emissions vehicles, including
EVs, is a necessary step-change to effect a substantial reduction in transport emissions.
An overview of the number of EV purchase grants and home charger grants by county in 2021 and the number of electric vehicle grants provided in 2021 by car make and model is set out in the following tables:

Fig 3. electric vehicle grants provided in 2021 by car make and model
The SEAI grant scheme aims to encourage behavioural change and support the Government’s commitment to achieving a 51% reduction in transport emissions by 2030. The grant schemes are kept under continuous review to ensure that they are as effective as possible in driving the decarbonisation effort.
Further funding of over €70m has been allocated to the EV purchase grant scheme and home charger grant scheme in 2022.
