Zero Vehicles Emissions Ireland (ZEVI) and the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) have announced the county winners of ZEVI’s EV Dealership of the Year Awards 2024.
The awards have run for the past three years, recognising and rewarding excellence in the promotion and sale of electric vehicles (EVs) in Ireland.
Sheehy Motors Carlow was announced as the 2024 Carlow winner.
'In total, 134 car dealerships from 23 counties participated in the awards, up from 124 dealerships in 2023.'
'Funded by ZEVI, these SEAI-administered awards recognise dealerships working to build consumer understanding and experience of EVs and ultimately their roll-out on Irish roads.'
'Participating car dealers were assessed through a mystery shopping exercise where they were scored on factors including EV prominence in the showroom, salesperson knowledge of EVs, and overall sales approach. Other evaluation areas included EV training, sales trends, and the dealership’s website.'
The winners announced today, including Sheehy's Carlow, are on the shortlist for the regional awards which will be announced at this year’s Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) Annual Dinner taking place on Thursday 22nd February 2024.
One of the four regional winners will then be announced the overall national winner at the SEAI Energy Show taking place in the RDS, Dublin on 20th and 21st March 2024.
Commenting on today’s announcement Declan Meally, Director of Business, Public Sector and Transport at SEAI said, 'I want to congratulate this year’s county award winners, with extremely high standards demonstrated by all competing dealerships. It is inspiring to see the continued commitment to reducing emissions on our roads, helping Ireland to achieve a cleaner, more efficient transport future. It is great to see a significant increase not only in EV sales, but in participation in the 2024 awards. SEAI recognises that car dealerships and their staff are a key enabler of EV uptake and is delighted to reward excellence in the field.'
