    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    I wouldn't hold my breath. The slow charger near the pier in Dun Laoghaire is the only charger that I have never seen when it is not ICEd. They don't seem to care at all.

    If you don't ask, they will never change!

    I've made a submission:

    1. Provision be made to handle electric vehicle charging dedicated parking spaces, specifically:
    - prevent other vehicles from using these spaces, 
    - to compel electric vehicles to move from these spaces when their charging cycle is complete (to enable other vehicles use the charger).
    This is in line with National Policy Framework Alternative Fuels Infrastructure for Transport in Ireland (http://www.dttas.ie/sites/default/files/publications/public-transport/english/npf-picture/6186npfalternative-fuelsengv5.pdf ) - see page 85, under "Measures to be implemented by end of 2018": Address the issue of misuse or ‘icing’ of charge point spaces through parking and/or road traffic regulations

    2. In the case of commercial electric charge operators, it would make it easier for end users if they could pay 1 fee to the electric charger operator, who in turn pay for the parking space + the charging service.
    I propose that accommodation be made for such scenarios - this would be in line with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities recent decision to enable commercial electric vehicle charging operators: https://www.cru.ie/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/CRU17283-Decision-paper-on-ESBN-Electric-Vehicle-Pilot-Associated-Assets.pdf
