How eStation Can Help Sports Clubs Install EV Chargers
The drive towards sustainable transport is gaining momentum, and sports clubs across Ireland now have the opportunity to join this movement. Thanks to the Shared Island Sports Club EV Charging Scheme, 227 sports clubs are eligible to apply for funding to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers. With €15 million provisionally allocated in grants, this initiative offers a fantastic chance for clubs to not only enhance their facilities but also contribute to the growing network of EV chargers across the island of Ireland.
At eStation we are here to help clubs take full advantage of this funding and make the transition to EV charging simple and effective.
Why Sports Clubs Should Consider EV Chargers
Whether it’s a GAA club in Galway or a golf course in Belfast, installing EV chargers can benefit your club in numerous ways:
- Support Sustainable Transport: By providing EV chargers, clubs help members and visitors reduce their carbon footprint.
- Generate Income: Chargers located at high-traffic sports venues offer clubs the potential to generate additional revenue by providing charging services.
- Future-Proof Your Club: As electric vehicles become more mainstream, having the right infrastructure in place can future-proof your club’s facilities for years to come.
