    Yeah I got my free fob in the post a few months ago. Haven't used it yet, just keeping it in the car with the eCars card.

    Lidl charger only working in Bishopstown for about a week I assumed it was Plug and play it wasnt . I then registered tried the app no joy rang then very nice guy. Issue with comms a guy had to come down to reset. I got a letter with a fob in it yesterday. We live close to Lidl popped in to do a bit of shopping plugged in car swiped the fob and off she went. Very good service from Lidl and EasyGo in fairness

    Seems you need to sign up to a direct debit to resister with them, so not free charging!

    This is actually good as hopefully means no 1 car parked in the charger spot all day!

    Hi just to clarify I did not sign up on DD or make any payment. I rang them as I understood that this was a plug and play but it didnt charge they were very good told me to register on line which I did. Normal stuff name address, email they then sent me a letter with a fob. The website said the fob was €5 but I wasnt charged anything. They say in the letter "We will shortly be in a position to reveal details of another roll out covering 600+new EasyGo charge points "
    My charging for Lidl today was all free as Lidl is classified as Zone 0 see https://easygo.ie/ under How much does it cost to charge. For other zones there is a Connection fee around 24c and a cost per kwh ranging from 16c to 35c . This is completely seperate from eCars and I wonder are they the same guys who have about 6 charges next to Home store and more in Turners Cross chargers in Place but I think they are not quite ready to go.

    From an email I got
    There is no cost to subscribe to the EasyGo.ie Charging Network. Fees and charges associated with using BillPay charge points are displayed on our website and include a Connection Fee in addition to a kW/hour usage charge. These fees and charges may vary across our EasyGo.ie Charging Network. If you have requested an Access Fob from us, the €5 charge for this will be added to your first invoice.

    They are, but I've not supplied them with any details and won't be. They sent fob out free of charge. No complaints so far, but they don't reply to any feedback.

    Is there an app for these chargers? The letter says that you can use your phone to activate and manage the chargers.

    I'm not seeing one in the Android app store. That said, I never see the Polar Instant app for the UK chargers, my wife can on her identical phone, but it doesn't show up on a search on mine. :confused:

    I think its referred to as a 'Web App' which simply means go to their website Easygo.ie
