Electric Vehicle Charging Station urgently needed in Millstreet The Councillors’ of the region’s Municipal District are seeking the installation of charging stations in all key villages in the Municipal District such as Millstreet, Coachford, Kilumney, Ballingeary and Ballyvourney. There are only two charging points within the Municipal District, both of which are in Macroom town. Councillor Eileen Lynch said “I raised this motion following a recent incident where I was contacted by someone who was stranded in Millstreet with a 4% battery in their car which wouldn’t be enough to take them to the nearest charging station in Macroom or Kanturk. Luckily a local businessman was able to help out and the driver was soon on her way but it raised the real issue of the lack of a charging station in Millstreet”. Whilst we have recently welcomed many announcements from Government in relation to a new range of grants to support switching to Electric Vehicles, however, these are all pointless schemes if local towns and villages do not have basic charging facilities.
