Cork Airport. 2 x 50kW CCS and ChaDeMo and 2 x 22kW AC. Listed on plugsgare app with photos. Acessible without paying for airport parking, so acessuble to anyone passing by. Branded TSG. Cost unknown, Better charging than Dublin airport. [Edit] Cork Chargers are not yet active. Link to app needed on plugshare entry [/edit]

Black_Knight · 21-12-2020 4:05pm

Dungarvan just popped up as a fast charger upgrade at the car park in the center of town. Great for the town, but quite difficult to access if it's just a pit stop, and parking accessibility is shocking there to begin with.

I'll take a spin down there later

Black_Knight · 22-12-2020 3:57pm

Main Street, Swords, Dublin got an AC upgrade.
Main Street, Rathcoole, Dublin 24 got an AC upgrade.

2 less of those crappy old AC units.

Easygo 50 kW in Helix and St Pats Teacher training college in Drumcondra

Krusty_Clown · 29-12-2020 11:48am

There's a free to use EasyGo 22kw charging post at the new County Council offices in Roscommon Town. It's on the EasyGo app, but missing from PlugShare etc. Drop off parking during business hours, but free to use outside of business hours. Need to use your fob/app.

Black_Knight · 30-12-2020 9:05pm

Still keeping busy putting in pointless AC units at supermarkets.

Supervalue Car Park, Church Lane, Ballinrobe, Mayo is live. 22kW AC

(Great spelling of SuperValu by ecars)

My mistake, it got upgraded. Nothing new.

Showing their usual competence and professionalism I see

Black_Knight · 21-01-2021 5:39pm

Daly's Circle K Service Station, Letterkenny Road, Lifford, Donegal
Got a 50kW DC / 22kW AC unit added to it, but they didn't remove the ****ty Elektromotive - 165 AC units (at least not yet)

EDIT: It seems this site already had this configuration, but the DC unit needed replacing.

Black_Knight · 27-01-2021 8:14am

Texaco (Mace & Supermacs), N4, Ballinalack popped up as having a circontrol raption 50 Unit (the new DC units they've been installing) yesterday. It's back to being the old CHAdeMO only unit now, but signs it's going to be replaced. A replacement, but at least another CCS head installed.

zg3409 · 04-02-2021 12:26am

Athlone town. 2 chargers being installed today. Looks like one 150kW and one 50kW with only a Max 22kW AC socket. Photos on plugshare. New site near town centre. Kilmartins Centra

Black_Knight · 18-02-2021 3:07pm

Athlone getting another change. Fairgreen car park has had its 22kW AC unit replaced with a new 50kW DC "lite" unit.

50kW DC, 22kW AC, load balanced. Sadly, the AC has no overstay, so a bay could be blocked for hours on end and the bays aren't flexible to allow "inventive" parking to allow any car charge port to reach the unit.

lukas8888 · 23-02-2021 5:17pm

Carrick On Shannon Lunneys newly installed last few days
150 kw and 50 kw.

0lddog · 11-03-2021 7:00pm

Found myself in Clare Hall ( Darndale / Northern Cross, North Dublin ) today.

Has the new charger in the Tesco understore carpark been noted ?

* I know it's no discussion but I'd call that a replacement. There has been a broken one there for ages, so long that it was taken off the map/pre map?, possibly broken for 5? Years at a guess, it was duct taped together last time I seen it.

liamog · 10-06-2021 11:48am

Mod Note: Keep up the good work, happy for replacements to also be listed here, it's helpful for people to see that charger that may have been unreliable in the past has been replaced

Black_Knight · 10-06-2021 12:06pm

Replacement AC units this week:
Newry & Mourne Museum (Bagenal's Castle), Abbey Way (A28), Newry
Strand Road, Londonderry, Derry/Londonderry

All 22kW AC units

New DC unit, replacing the existing 22kW AC unit.

Laffins Lane Car Park, Via Lower Main Street or Castle Park, Arklow

Krusty_Clown · 26-06-2021 10:15am

New charger in the newly opened Pettitt's Supervalu in Bray, towards the rear of the carpark. Not yet operational, doesn't look like an ecars or EasyGo unit. No markings, but looks like a bog-standard 22kW AC unit. 2 allocated parking spaces.

Great to see the new set up in An Cheathrú Rua in Galway. 4 new 22kW chargers as part of a 120kWp solar PV installation. Chargers on EasyGo app and should be live now from people I know in the area.

A public charging location on the way out to Clifden that was badly needed. Not too far from some of the Coláiste as well, once they re-open I guess na thuismitheoirí can get a charge while they visit for the day so clever future-proofing

Black_Knight · 02-07-2021 8:50am

AC --> DC upgrade:

Public Car Park, Off Link Road (R420), Portarlington, Laois
50kW. Bring your own type 2

BigAl81 · 02-07-2021 9:01am

For those with a Tesla, Mahon Point shopping center in Cork surprise opened 4 Tesla superchargers yesterday!

They plan to open more general ev chargers soon as well I believe.

Black_Knight · 06-07-2021 10:26am

Coming soon...

Shore Road, Killybegs, Donegal is getting an AC-DC upgrade.
50kW DC unit - 22kW AC (bring your own cable)

Not live yet, but the unit showed up on my stats yesterday morning, and the AC unit is offline currently.

Very weird location though. Judging from plugshare it's on the side of the road. Very difficult to plug in there given the short length of the cables.

Coming soon:

Saint Michael's Square, Ballinasloe, Galway getting an AC-DC upgrade

Black_Knight · 15-07-2021 9:28am

^^ Those are live now.

More AC-DC upgrades:

Public Car Park, Barrack Street, Loughrea, Galway

Also looks like 1 of the 350/200 CCS units at mayfield has been replaced with a like for like. I get the impression at least 1 of them was a bit glitchy.

Neworder79 · 15-07-2021 11:48am

2 x EasyGo 22kW Type2 Socket destination chargers at:

The Yeats County Inn, Curry, Co. Sligo.

Useful travelling N/S on N17 with outdoor dining area.

Silent Running · 19-07-2021 1:26pm

8 new 7kW sockets (4X2) around the back of the Wexford council offices, near the hospital. Of course, there was the obligatory diesel Audi parked in one of the spots, loads of free parking there.

They are marked "ec charging" and have a place to swipe a card. I've no idea where you would get a card though, nor how much the cost to charge is. I must ring the council and ask.

There used to be a pair of 7kW sockets there, just plug in and charge.

UPDATE from other post:

OK, I called the council on this and they eventually got back to me. The charge points need a card to activate. They are are only for staff use.

Nice perk for the council staff there.

Black_Knight · 21-07-2021 4:29pm

Replacement AC units in abundance today:

The Square, Barrack Street, Ballymore Eustace, Kildare
