Having replaced 15 fast chargers (22kW AC) in Northern Ireland over the summer, ESB will now commence the upgrade of a second batch of 15 fast chargers.

ESB ecars is delighted to again sponsor the Electric Vehicle Summit which takes place online on Thursday 14th October 2021.

TfL has opened a new rapid charging hub at Glass Yard in Woolwich. The 'petrol station' for electric vehicles allows drivers to charge up in 20-30 minutes and with eight charging points, it means a space is more likely to be available.

Initially, 16 forecourts have been identified across the Inver and Amber portfolio and include a mix of company owned, company leased and dealer sites. The charging units will be rolled out in two-phases, with over half of the sites to be completed over the coming 18 months.

ESB has today unveiled its first eight bay, high power electric vehicle charging hub. Located at Junction 14, Mayfield on the M7, Monasterevin, Co Kildare, the high power charging hub is capable of providing 100km of charge in as little as six minutes.

If the past 12 months has taught us anything, it's that our way of life and the norms we take for granted can change dramatically, in a very short space of time.

To ensure we are ready to support more electric vehicles on our roads, ESB is investing in and upgrading its public charging network across Ireland. As part of this, over 50 high power charging hubs will be rolled out on motorway and national road sites.

ESB ecars is delighted to support the annual Electric Vehicle Summit which takes place virtually Thursday 15th October.

Our charge point replacement programme was able to proceed again following a pause due to Covid-19 restrictions and it now stands at 162 replacement chargers (22kW AC) at different locations throughout the country.
