This episode of EV Musings explores the evolution of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Northern Ireland. Host Gary reunites with Mark McCall, chair of the EV Association of Northern Ireland, to discuss the progress made since their last conversation in 2023. They examine the state of EV adoption, improvements in the charging network, government involvement, and challenges still facing EV drivers in the region. While significant strides have been made, Northern Ireland still lags behind the rest of the UK in terms of charger availability and government support.
