    Am up in Big Smoke of semi final at weekend. Was hoping to charge whilst at game and parking in Q Park. They use some company called Blink but i cannot get the app to work. Support won't get back to me. Have no idea re: rates - how long can charge etc. Anyone had experience using this app ….it seems very poorly made and non functional.

    Yeah the Qpark Spire - is Cathal Brugha street. I have downloaded the Blink App but i cannot get registered with it. Cannot put in my address - spinning wheel only. Is there a different app will allow me to access the chargers

    thanks

    Try the Electroverse app. Its run by the big GB Energy company Octopus Energy. Its handy for some fringe operators like this, plus Ionity, Fastned & Instavolt.

    I had a lot of trouble using the Blink app at St. Stephens Green SC. It's the blink UK & EU app to start with - I think I may have had an older UK only version initially.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blinknetwork.europe

    Within the app there is a search function - type in the number of the charger if it doesn't appear on the map (it didn't for me). Terrible app when I used it.

    The cost is €0.72/kWh on blink vs €0.64/kWh on Electroverse as mentioned by @dsandson, so Electroverse is a better option I think.

    didn't bother using it in the end. Friend drove his ICE car - i emailed both qpark and Blink support and got zero credible response from either. Will go out of my way to ensure i avoid using Blink in future so appalling is their app and customer service.
