PROPOSAL: Add an objective: “Make Kerry a more attractive tourist destination for EV owners by installing additional fast charging (Chademo) infrastructure in strategic locations throughout the county and particularly along the Ring of Kerry, including, for example, Kenmare and Cahersiveen.”
RATIONALE: The use of electrical vehicle is a core part of the transition to a low carbon society (see goal 2 of the KCDP), and currently there are very poor fast charging facilities in Kerry, with one fast charger each in Killarney and Tralee. This likely discourages many private car owners from switching to electric vehicles, and also discourages many electrical vehicles owners for touring in Kerry. While there is mention of provisioning additional charging infrastructure of the plan, there should also be an objective to do this in the tourism section.
