Fingal County Council has been working with the ESB Innovation team, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and car sharing operators, to develop transportation options to ensure that electric vehicles are accessible to a broad range of people, while contributing to more sustainable and connected communitiesA new pilot project has launched today which sees the introduction of three EV-only eHubs opened in Malahide (beside the train station), Chapel Lane in Swords and Sandyford Business Park. These purpose built eHubs each include an ESB charge station and two shared EVs available to book at the sites. The EVs are provided by car share operators Go Car and Yuko and will be integrated into the suppliers’ existing car share booking apps, making it easier for users to book.David Storey, Director of Environment, Climate Action, Active Travel and Sport at Fingal County Council said: ‘’We are making significant strides towards a healthier and greener environment with this initiative. EVPZ further reduces the environmental impact of traditional car sharing and helps us overcome barriers to EV adoption. With eHubs in two locations across Fingal, it enables citizens to move sustainably, quickly, and cost-effectively."Donal Phelan, Head of Innovation, ESB Group, said: “Adopting cleaner technologies and sustainable practices, can greatly reduce the transportation sector's carbon footprint and make a substantial impact on our journey towards a net zero future. We are delighted to be working with Fingal County Council and Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to develop these innovative eHubs at prime locations to aid in the promotion of sustainable transportation options. By providing convenient access to shared EVs, these eHubs will encourage more residents and businesses to opt for sustainable travel solutions.”Cllr Jim O’Leary, Cathaoirleach, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council said: “We are proud to announce the launch of a new electric car share scheme in Sandyford Business District, in partnership with ESB, Go Car, and Yuko. This initiative directly supports our Climate Action Plan 2024-2029, which champions the expansion of EV car sharing. With its concentration of over 1,000 businesses, 26,000 employees, and 6,000 residents, Sandyford Business District is the ideal location to pilot this sustainable transport solution.”
