Applegreen own brand chargers

Yeah mine was reverted a day or two later. I'm using revolut who are pretty quick at reverting transactions

Given its only the dual heads that were taken away, maybe there are being swapped for CCS only units!

Yep, @slave1 spotted a new charger in Enfield services today. It's unbranded but looks to be the same model as the Coynes Cross ones

If the chargers are that easy to move around then I'd wager @AndyBoBandy is right and they got moved elsewhere due to a delay in Ballymount

So don't do a Dublin City council is what you're saying? 😁

I was in Applegreen Lusk M1 North at the weekend and there are 4 new spaces ready to be connected up.

This I have to see for myself, I don't think I'll be capable of believing it until I actually plug the car in and see it charging 😁

Not sure I agree with you on that one. There's definitely a tipping point has been reached where the profitability of EV charging is viable for service stations

But, we're only seeing Applegreen deploying chargers on routes that are guaranteed to turn a profit. Doesn't benefit someone driving from Sligo to Tralee and I suspect the market players won't touch those routes for a long time yet

There's also the open question of deploying kerbside AC chargers in cities. Or rather the total lack of deployment

IMO that is where the focus of government support should be right now. France recently announced a plan to fund DC chargers in rural petrol stations and it's something I think should be followed in spirit by our government

Without wanting to distract too much from the Applegreen discussion on this thread - In London, I saw multiple lampost chargers deployed around the city, simple kerbside AC. It is doable, with the right attitude and plan (something our local councils do not appear interested in at the moment).

For Applegreen, I'd be very interested to see if they will finally expand the M1 Lusk stations with up to four more spaces. It's comically bad at the moment driving in and hoping that noone is already there -- although not as comically sad as Castlebellingham where there can be three cars queueing for the one ESB charger while eight Tesla stations sit mostly idle.

The annoying part is that AG could probably install chargers alongside Tesla. If they copied Ballymount that's something like 6x150kW for 900kW total?

Pretty sure the existing supercharger site is about the same size. So sharing the site is feasible with load balancing, and would benefit other cars since you wouldn't be completing with the Teslas for spaces

The superchargers rarely seem more than 50% full anyway so you'd probably only have to limit the chargers due to the grid connection a handful of times

Lusk m1 southbound presumed applegreen branded chargers going in. Looks like room for 4 units.
