Summary

Ninety-eight electric buses sit idle, waiting for chargers that haven’t been installed yet—despite being ready to roll and desperately needed to cut emissions. The government’s move to buy buses upfront saved millions, avoiding future price hikes, but now the real challenge is infrastructure: planning, approvals, and construction take too long. Hundreds of buses, electric and otherwise, have been parked up for years. The solution? A new national charging framework to streamline deployment. Fifty-six electric buses head to Dublin by year’s end, 42 to Galway by late 2026—proof that getting green transit moving requires more than just vehicles, it needs a coordinated, future-ready system.
