Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure how many electric vehicle charging points there are in Strangford in public ownership and managed by the local councils within the constituency.

Answer:

The electric vehicle public charge point network is owned, operated and maintained by the Electricity Supply Board (ESB). ESB can be contacted, in respect of the issues you have raised about the public network, at ecars@esb.ie or enquiries can be sent directly to ESB, Two Gateway, East Wall Road, DUBLIN 3, D03 A995.

Information on charge points managed by councils is available from the relevant councils.

I am committed to supporting the transition to electric vehicles as part of wider transport decarbonisation work and to working in partnership with Executive colleagues and others across our islands to help deliver a change in the way we travel that also helps us to tackle the climate crisis.
