Under the Climate Action Plan 2021, the Government is aiming to have almost one million electric vehicles on Irish roads by 2030. In support of this, Hermitage Clinic installed 4 EV charging bays in the Public Car Park  to facilitate drivers who are travelling significant distances and may need a ‘top-up’ to get home or to the nearest super-charging station. As one of the first hospitals to introduce this facility on our campus, and to meet the increasing demand, Hermitage Clinic has decided to increase the number of EV charging bays on site to 15 in total; which is the maximum number of chargers that can be accommodated on our present electrical infrastructure.

• 4 charging bays in the Public Car Park & 5 charging bays in the Overflow Car Park
• 6 charging bays in the Consultant Carpark
