SIMI says a 60 per cent surge in EV sales in the Midlands wouldn't have been possible without Government incentives.
The government is being urged to incentivise electric vehicle-buying in next month's budget.
New figures show so far this year, over 700 new electric cars have been registered in the Midlands- a 60% increase on the same time last year.
The Society of the Irish Motor Industry says that would not have been possible without Government incentives.
CEO of the SIMI, Brian Cooke, says investing in electric vehicles makes sense for the country:
