The ongoing shift towards electrified vehicles continues at rapid speed in the Irish market, 2021 combined electric and hybrid sales are up by a significant 103% YOY (35,014 units in 2021 vs 17,182 units in 2020). This brings a major change within the Automotive industry as car dealerships now have to satisfy customers’ needs for home charging units, information on grants such as the €600 SEAI Home Charger Grant, energy tariffs, installer recommendations and much more. As a result, there is an increasing requirement for all stakeholders including Automotive Manufacturers, Dealerships, Energy Providers, Home Charger Manufacturers and Charger Installers to work together to provide a seamless EV or PHEV buying journey for customers.

This exciting software will facilitate the consumer’s purchase of an approved home charger, installation of the charger by an approved engineer, analysis of the customers home & EV energy highlighting any potential cost savings, switch of energy provider (if required) and application for the SEAI Home Charger grant.
