    Cheers,

    Is there an unofficial one that people can edit?
    There's a dual charging point outside my work place over a year now and it doesn't appear on any map. You'd have to know it was there, which makes it useful to all of about 8 people I'd say.

    Cheers,

    Added it. Harpers Lane, Wexford. Not sure does it have to be approved by a moderator. Doesn't look to be showing on the map though.

    Much better, direct link to google maps and clearer status information.

    You can also filter by your connector now.
    New mobile app is also on the way. The Irish EV Owners Association Committee, myself included, have been testing it. New map includes several of our recommendations. It's not perfect but getting there.

    It's a far better map !!!

    Click on ChadeMo then on CCS and see the difference !

    Still don;t know why the new Carlow DC charger has no CCS ?

    They have one problem.... There are six CCS chargers in the North that aren't showing on the map.

    Carlow was the last rapid installed without CCS. It was installed just before the Roscrea triple.

    It's good to finally see the charger type and power on the map, a request I put in a few years back.

    What would really be cool if the chargers could report if it's in use and at what % the car is at so you'd know if by the time you get there it will be free.

    A camera feed to show if there's a queue would also be cool, though multiple charger installations is the only cure for that.

    Definitely a big improvement, expecially for drivers of non-Chademo cars.

    I got the updated ecars app today. Seems to exit more cleanly the the last one. Got the app, now all I need is the car.

    Ha ha yeah , probably. But at least electrics will have a lot more range by then so there'll be a lot less reliance on public charging by most individuals but the demand for the network will continue to grow as more are sold and people charge while out and about. It just means with a 200-250 mile range EV you can take the trip to Cork, Galway etc without a charge in between or sometimes two.

    I see the charger in Templemore is no longer on the map.

    Think it was often reporting as down?

    Anyone have any more info on this?

    I don't think it was ever commissioned. It's a Siemens 22kW...one of the early ones they put out and it never received a chargepoint ID plate.

    Spaces were growing moss for the past few years... I think ESB just got sik of people asking about it.

    It was active for weeks despite it being down. Fixed now though.
