In terms of building the charge network Ireland's quite an unusual case, too, in that you'll run out of land before you run out of range in a lot of cases - so the vast majority of use should be covered by overnight trickle charging.
[Edit] Also, banning new cars in 2030 puts the realistic majority tipping point around 2040, with a near-total phase out well timed to meet the 2050 deadline, so it's more of a 20-30 year plan than a 10 year one.
