A pleasure to welcome Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer to the Tyndall National Institute today. Seeing the cutting-edge research first-hand highlights how deep collaboration between Irish and UK counterparts continues to drive innovation and prosperity across both islands.

Ireland is becoming more electrified by the month.

Diesel is dying fast in Ireland

Thanks to the great man for the photo today. ⁦@EoinListon⁩

If you want to show around a fun picture, show people the trailing 12 months split of the market in Ireland, where Diesel used to be at 75% at one point. Now it's 19%. Petrol used to be at 41%, now it's 27%. BEV used to be at 0%, now it's 16% (and growing).

🇮🇪 Ireland - May 25 - BEV Trajectory 18.7% BEV 19.3% PHEV 62% ICE (of which 17.1%p were HEV) Trailing 12 months are: 16.1% BEV 13.6% PHEV 70.3% ICE (of which 24%p were HEV) I haven't seen a data point land on my trajectory curve this accurately in a while.

🇮🇪 Ireland - Feb 25 - BEV Trajectory 17.9% BEV 15.1% PHEV 67% ICE (of which 22.4%p are HEV) Trailing 12 months are: 15.7% BEV 12.4% PHEV 71.9% ICE (of which 23.2%p are HEV) Ireland matched their trajectory basically to the tee in February.

Hopefully a timeline for EV chargers will be decided/published in the near future
