Commitment
Make electric vehicles more affordable
What this means
- Fine Gael made a promise in its November 2024 general election manifesto to make electric vehicles more affordable for people in Ireland.[source]
- The commitment covers expanding financial supports to help buyers afford electric vehicles, which currently cost more than petrol or diesel cars.[source]
- Fine Gael also pledged to grow the charging infrastructure network, aiming to make it easier for people to charge EVs across Ireland.[source]
- This commitment sits within Fine Gael's climate and environment policy area, linking transport choices to Ireland's broader green transition goals.[source]
- The promise has no stated delivery deadline, which makes it harder for voters to hold the party to account on when results should appear.[source]
