The Government's bid is in an effort to increase the number of Electric vehicles on Irish roads and to reduce transport emissions.
Roadshows will also be organised around the country to highlight the advantages of electric vehicles and to address people's worries about the electric cars.
The plans include a roadshow in the National Ploughing Championship where people will get the chance to drive an EV.
