Residents in newly built housing estates across Dublin are reporting difficulties charging their electric vehicles (EVs). Numerous individuals have contacted The Journal to express frustration over a lack of functional EV chargers within their developments. The issue appears widespread, affecting multiple estates and raising questions about planning and infrastructure provision. Concerns center around insufficient charging points for the number of EV owners, or chargers that are simply non-operational. This highlights a potential shortfall in adequate EV infrastructure accompanying new housing developments. It raises broader questions about whether developers are adequately preparing for the growing demand for electric vehicle ownership and if regulations are sufficient to ensure proper provision. The situation leaves residents reliant on public chargers or facing inconvenience at home.
