Revealing the latest advances and newest roadmaps as the way is paved for more affordable EV models, broader reach and improved infrastructure There are now 5600 EVs on Irish roads. This number may look somewhat short when our government's target is to have 20,000 on the road EVs by 2020. However, registrations of new and imported electric vehicles in Ireland are up 40% on this time last year. So, are EVs finally ready to take-off? Building on the success of our previous summits, the 3rd National Electric Vehicles Summit will focus on how we maximise the potential of EVs via smart technolog

This process of documentation has arguably been just as important as, and in some ways more important, than ‘the music itself’, shaping its reception and spread throughout the world. In
