The Midlands EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy indicates Athlone won't be able to support a EV charger network in future.
A Westmeath Councillor is urging local TD's to consider electricity grid upgrades for electric vehicles in his area in future updates of the National Development Plan.
New statistics in the Midlands EV Charging Infrastructure Strategy indicate Athlone will have a grid capacity deficit of just over 9.5%.
It's the lowest figure in the county, with the report also stating there's no capacity to support widespread deployment of EV chargers.
Frankie Keena wants Ministers Robert Troy, Peter Burke and Kevin 'Boxer' Moran to push for investment into this area.
The Fianna Fail rep says it's important for Athlone's future:
