    That would be very handy, the fob is tiny and I attached it to my key ring today. I presume that as long as the ESB AC chargers are free, charging there using the EasyGo fob would also be free?

    EasyGo fob should be working on ESB and Ionity charge points now.
    ESB AC chargers are free through EasyGo too

    I'm interested to know the costs of ecars and the costs of Ionity on the easygo app too. It still shows as "free" for both at the moment which of course is a mistake

    Interesting, so the interoperability is not fully there yet.
    Damn, I knew free was too good to be true!

    I never bothered charging at Tesco Liffey Valley as my Ioniq could only take 7kW. The Easy Go chargers are marked as 22kW though on the Easy Go app and on ZapMap, so I thought I'd try yesterday. But they are only 7kW and are marked as such physically on the chargers themselves

    Bit of a disappointment that, another pretty much useless set of chargers really...

    Can someone in Easy Go who reads this, please change their description? And a lot of their AC chargers are marked as 22kW. Are all / most of them just 7kW too?

    Easygo don't read this. They are active on Facebook and twitter and respond to emails. Most sites are 22kW. Send them an email with details and they might update power level on their app. It says 7kW on plugshare

    I used some of their lidl chargers around the country and they were at least 16a 3 phase per port (I got a consistent 12kW)

    Charges at Tesco Liffey Valley are Tesco's operations and not Easygo. They might have supplied them but they have no control. Where it says is 22kW? There was a label 7.2 last year when I was there.

    l.e. https://www.plugshare.com/location/155153 see the picture

    A bit old new, but haven't seen this posted here.
    EasyGo partners with Eir for rapid charging in Ireland

    In Ireland, EV charging network provider EasyGo launched a partnership with telecoms company Eir to replace 180 public telephone booths with EV rapid charging points. Around €10 million are to be invested in the plan, and results are expected in January.

    https://www.electrive.com/2020/12/07/easygo-partners-with-eir-in-ireland-for-rapid-charging-points/

    Sounds like a good idea that old infra is repurposed, but phone booths would be most likely in cities and towns so not the best place for FCPs? Anyhow - +180 FCPs certainly counts. We've only 90-100 in the whole country now (I don't count the 5 Ionity locations or Tesla Superchargers).

    It’s in the EasyGo thread. Not really relevant to eCars.

    I put up on the new chargers sticky that easygo plan on more lidl sites for 2021, NI and ROI

    They have removed the DC charger from.lidl Drogheda, and replaced it with a dual AC unit.
    The Drogheda unit was very old and CCS was broken for months.

    Here is a bit of fake news from Irish times
    https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/easygo-overtakes-esb-as-largest-provider-of-charge-points-for-electric-vehicles-1.4468496?mode=amp
    The Kildare-based company, which uses DC rapid chargers, developed by plug and charge company Tritium, also announced it had secured an additional €10 million in funding from private equity, which would fund the ongoing rollout of its network, while creating an additional 50 jobs.
    They don't have more sites than ESB, they seem to include the ESB sites in their total too.
    On the latest easygo app update you can filter out non easygo sites to see their own network coverage.

    IIRC, not just the ESB ones but some of the Circle K ones as well.
    The theory is that they are all accessible from their app.
