Package of pay perks tailored to double electric car usage

A focused drive to double the number of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) on Irish roads within 12 months has been launched in Cork City.

Free parking, free charging, free charge points, waived toll charges, zero deposit, and 0% finance offers were announced as part of a package of incentives to encourage people to buy in to the Drive4Zero campaign launched yesterday.

The campaign will see the city taking a national lead in promoting the use of EVs and help it in its bid to be European Green Capital in 2017.
