Reported byElectrive ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Ireland's ICE2EV scrappage pilot reached its 2,000-applicant limit within one hour of launch, offering up to €5,000 in grants stacked with existing €3,500 EV purchase grants, removing 2,000 older vehicles from roads.

Worth noting

Minister indicated this was a time-limited pilot; permanent scheme status depends on post-pilot assessment.
