Planning approved for Birdhill supercharger station

Tipperary Co Council has granted planning permission for an electric car supercharging station at Birdhill.

Electric car giant Tesla Motors Ltd has been given permission for the installation of four Tesla superchargers and eight chargeposts at the Applegreen service station off the M7 at Birdhill. Revised parking layout and a new MV substation including associated equipment are also included in the plan.

 

It is understood that Tesla Motors intends to open four supercharging stations across Ireland, as well as a store. The supercharging stations allow for fast recharging of Tesla electric cars, free of charge to the owners.
