ZEVI TII EV Recharging Infrastructure LDV En-Route Grant Schemes
We are working with partner Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI), to accelerate the delivery of Electric Vehicle (EV) recharging infrastructure across Ireland's National Road Network by incentivising private sector involvement.
LDV Grant Scheme Phase 3
Phase 3 of the TII EV Recharging Infrastructure LDV National Road Grant Scheme programme, focusing on 3,000km of non-Ten-T national single carriageway roads, was launched by TII and ZEVI in February 2025. In October 2025, the Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien announced the locations of 90 new high-powered recharging pools to be rolled out under this scheme on the National Road Network.
A total of 192 high-powered recharging points will be built across the 90 recharging pools, providing an additional 22,000 kilowatts (20 Megawatts) of recharging capacity. Each of these recharging pools provides fast and ultra-fast recharging points, so that people can charge their EVs quickly. The infrastructure will be built by the private sector, grant aided by the Department of Transport. The list of successful applicants is available here
Phase 1, Round 2
The first ZEVI EV Recharging Infrastructure LDV National Road Grant Scheme was launched in early 2024. In July 2024 the locations of 17 new high-powered recharging pools to be rolled out under this scheme were announced.
In November 2024 a second round of this scheme was launched to encourage the provision of recharging infrastructure in specific areas (sub-zones) where it was not possible to award grants in the initial round.
- Locations of the sub-zones can be found in the map here.
- More information can be found in the scheme brochure here.
This Scheme is now closed to applications and evaluation is underway. Scheme results will be published when the process concludes.
Phase 2
Phase 2 of the ZEVI EV Recharging Infrastructure LDV National Road Grant Scheme programme, focusing on 1200km+ of national single carriageway roads, was launched by TII and ZEVI in October 2024. In June 2025 the Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien announced the locations of 53 new high-powered recharging pools to be rolled out under this scheme on the National Road Network.
A total of 175 high-powered recharging points will be built across 53 recharging pools, providing an additional 20,000 kilowatts (20 Megawatts) of recharging capacity.
Each of these recharging pools provides fast and ultra-fast recharging points, so that people can charge their EVs quickly. The infrastructure will be built by the private sector, grant aided by the Department of Transport. The list of successful applicants is available here.
Phase 1
The first ZEVI EV Recharging Infrastructure LDV National Road Grant Scheme was launched by TII and ZEVI in February 2024. In July 2024 the Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan announced the locations of 17 new high-powered recharging pools to be rolled out under this scheme on the National Road Network.
A total of 131 high-powered recharging points will be built across 17 recharging pools providing an additional 24,260 kilowatts (24 megawatts) recharging capacity.
Each of these recharging pools provides banks of Fast and Ultra-Fast recharging points, so that people can charge their EVs quickly. The infrastructure will be built by private business, grant aided by the Department of Transport. The successful applicants were:
