Work was underway last week on the installation of a Rapid EV Charger in the car park of the Dundalk Tennis Club in the town.
It is one of 25 rapid electric vehicle chargers being installed at locations across the border region in the Republic. as part of the FASTER Project which has received €6.4 million EU funding under the INTERREG VA programme.
The FASTER Project is a joint initiative by partners in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland to support the overarching ambition to transition to low carbon transport systems.
It aims to ensure that the availability of public charging stations is not a major obstacle to Electric Vehicle (EV) market penetration.
The project is managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) to support the transition to electric vehicles and sustainable transport use across Western Scotland, Northern Ireland and the border region.
Weev were appointed in September to install and operate the chargers following a competitive tender process. Further information about the FASTER Project is at www.fasterevcharge.com
