Electric Car Scrappage Frenzy | Galway News

from Galway News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The government’s electric vehicle scrappage program, offering up to $8,500 to trade in old gas or diesel cars over 13 years old for EVs, was a flashpoint of demand—snapped up in under two hours with just 2,000 spots. Fine Gael senator Sean Kyne is now pushing for its extension and expansion in the next budget, arguing the public’s overwhelming response proves the need for more accessible green mobility options. With the nation’s transportation future on the line, the government’s next move could accelerate Ireland’s clean energy transition.
