Council hears there are only 28 public EV charging points in Kerry

With the county attracting around two million tourists a year, one councillor said "the number should be double" at least

The number of EV public chargers in towns dotted around the Ring of Kerry is also minor — Sneem and Cahersiveen have only one while Kenmare has none.

Kerry has just 28 electric vehicle charging points on public-owned land despite being a major tourist hub, a meeting has heard.

Killarney attracts the bulk of the county’s estimated two million annual tourists to Kerry, many of whom arrive in hired cars. However, it has just four public charging points on two Kerry County Council-owned properties – at Tesco Car Park (outside town), and the Glebe Car park in the Town Centre.
