Applegreen own brand chargers

Alkers

I saw these being installed at the services in Birdhill on Friday, can't find anything online.

Anyone know any details?

So what's the story here?

Are Applegreen going to make some announcement?

Are they fitting chargers into all major service stations?

Can't see ESB undercutting their own customers. Would surely cause competitiveness issues given ESB networks monopoly.

ESB ecars =/= esb networks, it's a highly regulated company.
Networks won't see the pricing schemes offered to end users

Ionity chargers in Ireland are 8 euro for as much juice as you can get, easygo were variable around 8 to 30 euro, but some are free. Esb will really set the fast charger pricing (in the next month) and all others will have to compete or expect their chargers to be quiet.

Surely this is just a first venture into private companies charging for electric charging?

I can't imagine this being free by any stretch of the imagination.

No, Ionity and EasyGo already up and running in a few sites around the country.

EasyGo charging in LIDL sites is free for now.

Its a pity they are not mounted like petrol pumps, access able from front and back and sides. I believe these can only charge one car each, but if someone abandons their car you might be able to park on the access road behind and chademo normally disconnects when full, while CCS depend in the car to decide (I think) . They seem very close together. They should at the very least leave room for 2 cars at each charger, if not 4. They don't seem to line up with the spaces, hopefully they will be remarked for EVs with some serious signage to deter ICEing and overstay while charging.

Great to see some inroads

The more the merrier. Well done Applegreen!

Oh that's a bit out of nowhere and very good to see. They are the same type of rapids Easy Go use.

50kw CCS and Chademo usually.

Would be great to see them rolled out at all Applegreens where possible.

Saw them too

Also couldn't find any info

Were closed off when I saw them on Saturday
