Verification
Cross-checked against the source document. Quote captured verbatim where the figure is directly stated; gaps and mismatches are noted honestly.
Searched Fine Gael GE2024 Manifesto, p.38: "Review EV Purchase Grants: Examine the current EV grant system, focusing on potential additional supports. Expand Charging Infrastructure: Increase the number of publicly available EV charging points four-fold to nearly 10,000.". Fine Gael manifesto commits to EV grant review and charging-infrastructure expansion but does not state a specific €200m annual figure verbatim.
