€1.3m e-car hubs leading the charge across Ireland

A €1.35M project offering e-cars, e-bikes and e-cargo bikes for shared use is being launched in four tourist hotspots.

Hubs, complete with charging facilities, will be set up in Dublin, Galway, Sligo and Donegal as part of the ROBUST project.

Trinity College and Atlantic Technological University researchers, ESB and Enterprise Rent a Car are behind the three year pilot scheme.

It will be used to assess the viability of a national roll-out based on community buy-in and usage as well as international decarbonisation policies.

Prof in Transportation at the Centre for Transport Research in Trinity, Brian Caulfield said: "This is a massively ambitious project that will for the first time provide us with evidence on how different parts of our country may adopt shared electric mobility.
