This research examines how many Irish households can afford electric cars under different scenarios, including vehicle size, current and reduced prices, and loan options. These estimates are then compared to the number of EVs needed by 2030 to meet emissions reduction targets.

Subsidies tailored to income, household size, and location can speed up electric car adoption better than current flat-rate subsidies, which mainly help wealthier households and do not support fair access to electric vehicles.

[Agnieszka Stefaniec @AgnesStefaniec]

Affordability challenges are slowing down the adoption of electric cars. Current flat-rate subsidies miss the mark— they do not effectively help lower-income households to switch to electric vehicles. The slow adoption threatens the achievement of emission reduction targets.

Meeting national carbon reduction targets and enhancing liveability in small and medium-sized towns requires more than technology. Achieving European, national, and regional climate goals requires local action and multi-disciplinary, inclusive policy approaches. @Researchirel

Why do they never play hide and seek at #Trump rallies? No one hides better than the facts do!

Just a couple of e-bike ambulances in Soho early this morning. Someone will be along soon to comment on the impracticality of carrying patients, to which I will reply: First responders and the golden hour in a city full of traffic

Why do Trump's speeches make great boomerangs? Throw his words out there, and they always come back to 'me'!

Why doesn't #Trump ever play hide and seek at his rallies? Because good luck hiding when you're always center stage!

Iceland’s President 🇮🇸 has been urged to stop the Prime Minister’s plan to review whaling permits in the caretaker government’s final days.

The decision defies public opposition to whaling and constitutes an abuse of power by the caretaker government.

What’s the dress code at a #Trump rally? Whatever's best for spinning!

[Mark Hamilton @MarkHamil]

Why did the #Trump rally remind everyone of a flashback to the 80s? Because there was just as much hairspray and yelling as an old rock concert!
