7.12.5 Electric Vehicles

Objective EC 045 to "Promote the delivery of EV charging facilities across the County where demand is proven, both on sites owned and occupied by Kildare County Council and private sites and ensure that EV charging points are installed in such a way that they do not cause significant obstruction to footpaths, cycle lanes, access to Train stations, or bus lanes/stops." should be reworded to remove "where demand is proven" on the basis that demand is inevitable and to require that all new houses are future-proofed through the inclusion of EV charging points and that there is adequate provision of EV charging points in apartment complexes to allow all car owners to charge their vehicles overnight.
