A prominent Clare Car Dealer is calling for a scrappage scheme to be introduced to make electric vehicles more affordable. It comes as ESB has announced rate reductions of 8% on its standard power EV charging stations and 13% on it's high power charging stations nationwide. Last July, the SEAI slashed the EV purchase grant from €5,000 to €3,500, which it said was necessary to invest in public charging infrastructure. General Manager of Sheils Motor Group in Ennis, Eddie Rynne says while reduced charging costs will help sales, consumer incentives need to be urgently enhanced.
