The Divers Alert Network (DAN) Sustainable EV Tour 2022 will arrive in Ireland next week, promoting electric vehicles and sustainability to help combat ocean acidification. The team aim to meet as many people as possible to explore ways in which they can help towards solving the global acidification threat, which damages marine life.
Their next stop is Ireland, where DAN sustainability reps Alana Alvarez and Manu Bustelo will continue their tour – carbon-neutrally – in a 100% electric Hyundai Kona SUV, visiting Galway, Cork and Dublin. They will be holding events at the Dive Academy in The Aran Islands, Oceanaddicts in Kinsale, Oceans of Discovery Dive Center in Robert’s Cove, Cork and OCEANDIVERS in Bray.

Decarbonisation needs electrification and electrification needs infrastructure. That’s why IONITY is building a pan-European high-power charging network which is open to electric vehicles of all brands.
