    Just get folk hogging it then though, as seen with many EV charging spots historically.

    Pay normally through an app or provider, then using your Ikea receipt (uploaded to the app via a photo), you get the amount paid refunded as you were a paying customer of Ikea that day.... (charge session timing and Ikea receipt times have to match).

    anyone visiting Ikea in a 50kWh battery car (like a Model 3 SR+) will get about 28% from 2 hours plugged into one of those units.

    Am I mad to think that this seems, well, fine?

    I mean, it's the kind of model that should have 20 chargers rather than 2, but still.

    I'd prefer 11kW personally but yeah 7kW is fine if there's a lot of them

    2x 7kW chargers for a store which probably consumes more from it's floodlights is pretty poor

    Are all the chargers at Dundrum shopping centre accessible now? I presume all the shops are open now so most of the parking should also be open.

    Went on Sunday past to get groceries. All in use bar 1 (3.30 pm). Obviously the one not being used wasn't working.

    Has anyone successfully used the Decthalon chargers using their own easygo fob lately- specifically if you don't have any credit in your easygo account (they're supposed to be free).

    I thought the deal was the lads from Decathlon would give you a fob to start the charge?

    At the beginning yeah, but then everyone kept the fobs until they only had 1 left... at that point, the guy would come out and start the charge for you...

    Then later EasyGo just introduced charging at those units (I presume the last fob was lost/stolen). Seems like a waste of 10 good AC chargers...

    If I'm right in saying, it's the largest hub in the country?

    What other public site can charge 10 cars at once? best I've seen is Tesla and their 8 car stalls, then Kelly's Resort in Rosslare have 7 (free) AC chargers

    My issues with these is that they are free and the operational hours are limited due to its location. (the park closes @ 4pm from October till March or something like that)

    The eCars chargers at Swords can handle 10 cars at once. They are spread over 3 floors.
    Extremely useful chargers for when you want a parking space near the door.

    They'll not be in action too long.

    Lidl Lusk - Store opens today and they have a DC Charger supporting CCS & CHAdeMO. App reports only 29kW on CCS & 30kW on CHAdeMO

    Absolutely great to see Lidl supporting DC chargers in their car parks, even these smaller power ones are much useful than the AC units other supermarkets have installed. I mostly see PHEVs charging at the AC supermarket points

    Because they're free of cost. Gotta sip from that 22kW socket at 3kW for a few hours to keep the phev name in the gutter.

    Surprised you dialed down the charging speed, must be habit.

    30kW DC is perfect and better than 22kW AC. Hardly anyone gets 22kW from the AC, but everyone can pull 30 on the DC

    17kW max is still pretty ok though.

    It's the JLR phevs with CCS that I worry about!

    Mercedes phevs have a CCS option also, I have my eye on Prius phevs, Honda clarity, Mitsubishi eclipse/outlander with chademo from japan.
