I previously went over how Ireland went "green" and the nation has becoming eco-safe. This nonetheless was a stepping stone for a rising industry and Chevrolet wants in. With Nissan already being the largest electric car producer in Ireland; Chevy has turned towards the nation for a push on their product line for further with more production on their own electric car, even pushing the Volt to makes its first effort in Ireland itself to go again the Nissan leaf. The product that is causing the incline in the industry is the actual car battery, "batteries which are currently in the range €10,000 to €15,000"(finfacts.ie)".The industry thanks to its "green" path is becoming one of the largest car industries and soon to be in electric cars.
In return for all this, Ireland will be helping its residents with a rebate on the purchase of an electric car as well. Much like America did with "clash for clunkers", Ireland for "those who purchase electric cars will be eligible for a €5,000 grant" (finfacts.ie). Not only will these help the nation’s people, but promise growth to any other car companies that the product it gives is already on a rise.

This seems like a win/win situation. Ireland's citizens are receiving rebates for cars and American car companies (i.e. chevrolet) are increasing revenues.
