Why are Easygo showing ex. VAT prices? They sell to consumers, are not
an exclusively "commercial" or "trade only" provider.
They are the only provider doing this too - I wonder why?
The CPCC say the law is, prices displayed to consumers must include VAT
.
Their website also proclaims them to be:
"Ireland's Largest EV Charging Network".
On what criteria are they basing this? ECars probably have more AC & DC points, as far as I am aware. Tesla likely have more DC points too, as do Ionity. Even Tesla likely have more destination chargers, albeit often only 7kW.
Easygo chargers also say "probably", in ghosted font, to qualify the claim below, of being Ireland's "Best" Car Charging Network.
So they are probably the best, but definitely the largest network.
How does that work?. 0 -

How does that work?.Its network is used by more than 7,000 Irish EV drivers that can find, use, and pay for charging at more than 1,200 charge-points around the country.
Their network includes ESB...due to roaming agreement, and ionity.
ESB also includes a good few Nissan dealer Chademo.

Easy go have a good few company only chargers listed on their app too.
They have a good few lidl in ROI and NI.
They have public AC in the likes of Ennis.
I asked them to add a filter option for easygo, as their app is covered in dots, most of which are ESB.
The latest app version has a filter for roaming chargers and you can see the easygo only sites.
As for the vat thing, their prices are confusing as they list exVat and including VAT prices and changed the overstay fee from ler minute to a fixed fee which nay or nay not include vat. They also have an activation fee after first 3 minutes and kWh is confusing to many anyway so most won't really know how much its going to cost until after the event.
Some chargers they listed as free, but they were no longer free such as roaming partners ESB and ionity.
They have touch to pay by credit card now, and the price varies depending on account type, no account and activation fee is much higher. I don't know what happens when you touch your credit card to pay but I'm sure its not free.0 -

They were free for a long time too
I'd say I "spent" (ie free) over €100 worth of charging.0 -
