The key elements include six high speed charging hubs on motorways capable of charging eight vehicles simultaneously; 16 high speed charging hubs capable of charging four vehicles simultaneously; additional high power chargers at 34 current 50 kW locations; upgrading over 50 22 kW chargers to 50 kW, and replacing up to 264 locations with 528 charge points at the pre-existing pilot grade of 22 kW to next generation high reliability models.

markpb wrote: » These charge points typically have two spaces. If you can park in the one on the right, you’re golden because the charge point is right beside your charge port. If only the left one is free, the cable isn’t long enough to reach across the back of the car and around to the charge port on the side so you have to park on top of the car in the right space or as an angle (as shown).

As said, there was a Model S in the left space when the Model 3 arrived. Anyway, it shouldn't still be like this, almost 10 years since they first installed chargers, it really shouldn't .

As mentioned before it's simply a case of cables too short but providers bitten by having to replace them due to car's reversing over them etc. It just fooking stupid, 2020 and they can't get the most basic things right, a real example of someone in an office somewhere coming up with a "solution"

zg3409 wrote: » What can Ecars do? Report gocar user violation to gocar themselves. Only they can move the car. Note they tell the drivers to charge when low... I can move any gocar myself for free, as I have an account. You should get one too as it takes a couple of days to set up. Its getting a bit off topic, but there is no overstay fee and gocar have free parking in Dublin. I presume the user is finished with the car and its battery was low at time of parking. Gocar should get their own chargers or if they are based on the same street as an esb charger then they should be officially given one side of the charger and pay handsomely for it.

Off to dual head #2 (original model) and looked fine but as soon as I hooked up it went "blocked" and out of action, again phoned the helpline (good thing I know the number as the number displayed on the chargepoint is "not recognised"), went through him rebooting the charger and back to permanent cycle of both sides "blocked". Thankfully dual head #3 was working. Checked the eCars app this morning before making this post and both the broken ones are marked as working, I suppose there's a chance they are working again but my points are... Chargepoints remain unreliable as does the eCars AppThey expect us to pay for this sh1te I have zero expectations there will be any improvement once paying comes in

(2-6kW AC) zg3409 you spotted on plugshare that the current charger is gone, but ecars map says there's a 44kW charge point unavailable at the moment there. Similar story with Gordon place Car park in Clonmel. Latest report was it's a type2, Ecars says a 44kW DC is unavailable at the moment.
