http://www.thegreencarwebsite.co.uk/blog/index.php/2009/02/02/ireland-sets-electric-vehicle-goal/Towards the end of 2008, the Irish Government set a target that 10 per cent of all vehicles in its transport fleet be powered by electricity by 2020. Now more details have been revealed about the proposals.
The plans will work by introducing tax incentives for businesses to buy electric vehicles. According to the details, businesses will be able to write-off 100 per cent of the purchase cost against tax, courtesy of the Accelerated Capital Allowance Scheme.

According to the report by Green Car Congress, if implemented there will be around 250,000 electric cars on Irish roads over the next 11 years. Considerable investment is expected.
