Boyle is one of the towns named for a new high powered EV charging hub.
The Boyle hub which will be located at Cooney’s Service Station in Greatmeadow is one of 90 hubs, which will deliver a total of 192 new fast recharging points across Ireland, announced by Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien.
Each hub will have an average capacity of 250kW and are designed to ensure that no driver is more than 30 kilometres from a high-powered charging station.
Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien said: “This announcement marks the final major phase of our Light Duty Vehicle initiative, following the earlier Phase One and Phase Two schemes, and completes this series of investments in our national EV charging network. Together, these schemes aim to ensure that drivers across Ireland will have reliable access to high-powered charging, making the transition to electric practical and convenient. Importantly, this investment will also bring high-quality, high-powered EV charging to more rural locations, helping to promote local economies support tourism, and strengthen regional development.”
The new EV chargers are “envisaged to be available for public use by the end of Quarter 1 2026”.
