There has been little improvement in the number of public electric vehicle (EV) charging points in Cork city's northside in the past year, despite the rest of the city and county seeing significant investment in the network.

Around this time last year, the ESB vowed to invest more in high-power EV charging in Cork, with just one charging point for the northside city suburbs compared to at least seven south of the river.
