Manufacturers recognized that electric vehicles are the future of many large car brands.

Governments around the world are already pushing to promote the sale of electric vehicles, so investments will become necessary to ensure the long-term survival of car makers and dealer networks.

The MHEV has a gasoline or diesel engine with an electric motor.

The battery is charged by the engine. The PHEV has a gasoline or diesel engine as well as an electric motor, but the battery can be plugged in and charged like a full electric car.

The electric vehicle is powered by an electric motor and batteries that are charged either by connecting it to a charging point at home or via the national charging network.

Gasoline and diesel cars account for 20% of Ireland’s energy consumption and CO2 emissions, with CO2 being widely regarded as the main contributor to climate change.
