    New CCS and ChaDeMo x 2 chargers at red car park at Dublin airport. Free to use, but can only be reached by entering and exiting red pay long term car park. They old AC chargers were replaced. These are non esb and don't need an app nor card to activate. So if parking a few days at airport pick the red car park when booking.

    New Tesla supercharger at Enfield Johnstown estate live from today according to others reports.

    Tesla only


    May not be listed in the Tesla nagivation app yet and may take time to appear on Tesla website. As a result cars may not preheat battery and so maximum charging speed may not be reached, but they are on and open apparently.

    Handy for those Dublin Galway/Sligo trips, with a nearby hotel for food.

    Passed lidl charleville earlier on, sorry about the poor quality and angle, but looks like a DC charger is going in to their new store which opens on the 28th

    Finally, A fast charger between limerick and cork




  • Registered Users Posts: 8,377 ✭✭✭Red Silurian


    Update on this - looks to have gone live today, there was a leaf looked like it was charging at it earlier and it's showing as available on the easygo app. Interestingly while there are 2 connectors it seems only one can be used at a time as the chademo was showing as used and the CCS as unavailable at the time

    App shows 1X Chademo and 1XCCS, both 50kW



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭zg3409


    Amber Fermoy now live. Up to 2 cars can charge at once on left charger. Up to 2 cars can charge on right charger (one AC). Only 3 parking spaces as per usual madness.

    The icon for the "4" is wrong as 2 cables are chademo, 2 are CCS.

    Only a km or so from the junction on Wexford side of new Bridge south of New Ross.

    Great food in lovely setting, 2 tethered Zappis. Only 7kW, but over a few hours was worth plugging in.

    Portrush northern Ireland. New charger with CCS and ChaDeMo (no AC) to replace old Chademo charger. Interesting that AC was disabled on new charger as it was deemed to be more of a problem than a help. Still free to use like all ESB chargers in NI

    Added to plugshare app.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭zg3409


    Monaghan town. Old triple head 50kW esb replaced with 150kW + 50kW. 150kW can charge 2 cars at the same time. Only 3 parking spaces so try keep middle space free when possible. 4 cars could charge at once if there was 4 spaces. Live now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,374 ✭✭✭JohnC.


    4 charge points added to City Square shopping centre, Waterford. Not sure exactly when they went in, but very recent. They're on the GoCharge network. The app says they're 22kW. Cost €0.30 + €0.45/kWh. Beside the valet people. I see they're already on Plugshare.





  • Registered Users Posts: 6,563 ✭✭✭zg3409

    Avondale Forest Park in Rathdrum, Co.Wicklow is reopening after a major renovation. They have 6 painted EV spots with 3 dual EC chargers. Didn’t have my EV with me so I don’t know if there is a charge or if free. I added to PlugShare. More info about the park here www.beyondthetrees.com

    Rumours new 50kW charger in Lidl on shore road in Belfast may be operational soon. New store opening this week.


    Meanwhile in Portrush NI a caravan park has added 4 X 22kW AC chargers. Portrush tends to be very busy during the summer with holiday makers and all chargers tend to be full at peak times . At this campsite there may be a sneaky £6 overstay fee once your car had finished charging for more than 20 minutes. I could not see the fine mentioned on the app, but it may be enforced. They take big deposit and you can limit how much you want to charge your car by, but don't leave it too long.
