Marketing Manager in Mullingar Autos James Bourke says it's needed for people in the Midlands .
Failure to deliver an EV training centre in Westmeath ultimately is a loss to the Midlands economy.
A proposed national electric vehicle training centre was announced for Mullingar in 2023, with plans since being put on hold.
The latest figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry show EV sales are up nationally by 109 per cent when compared to last year.
Mullingar Chamber President, and Sales and Marketing Manager in Mullingar Auto's James Bourke says people in the Midlands are making the switch.
He insists it's a missed opportunity:
