Plans for Tesla EV charging stations at shopping centre
PLANS have been submitted for Tesla electric vehicle charging stations at a shopping centre in Rathfarnham.
Tesla Ireland have applied for planning permission to install eight electric vehicle charging bays with eight Tesla illuminated charging units at Rathfarnham Shopping Centre on Butterfield Avenue.
The new electric vehicle charging bays are proposed to be located at the southwest corner of the site to the west of the shopping centre, close to the Circle K petrol station.
The EV charging points will be powered from a proposed substation with the supercharger cabinet acting as an electrical intermediary equipment.
The American multinational company currently has nine electric vehicle supercharging locations throughout Ireland.
These hubs can provide up to 100km of driving range in as little as six minutes, and vehicles can be charged by using a charge point card by swiping it across the screen to stop and start charging or via the Tesla application, the planning application stated.
“Tesla is committed to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy through increasingly affordable electric vehicles in addition to renewable energy generation and storage.”
A decision is due from South Dublin County Council’s planning department by November 10 this year.
