Access to quick and easy charging is essential for when you are on the go. That is why we have a growing network that can support up to 1,400 EVs charging at any one time across the island of Ireland, for convenient charging wherever you are. We own and operate the biggest and most extensive EV charging network on the island of Ireland so you are never more than 35km from your nearest charger.
We’re continuing to upgrade and grow our charging network across Northern Ireland so it’s easier than ever to stay on the move. New chargers are being added in convenient locations, helping drivers top up quickly and reliably whenever they need to. Our aim is to make driving electric simple, accessible, and stress free for everyone.

We own and operate Ireland's largest EV public charging network, meaning you are never too far away from one of our chargers.
Check out the link below to find your nearest ESB charge point.
To ensure a charge point is available for the next user and to respond to EV driver feedback, an overstay fee of €0.50 (£0.50) per minute will apply for charging sessions longer than 45 minutes when using all DC CHAdeMO, CCS and AC43kW connectors at Fast (Rapid) or High Power chargers. The same €0.50 (£0.50) per minute overstay fee will also apply for charging sessions longer than 10 hours on both 7kW and 22kW chargers/sockets. The maximum overstay fee is €22.50 (£22.50).
Please note as we have changed our overstay to an incremental fee, you will no longer receive notifications about the 10 minute reminder but you will be notified at the start of your charge that an overstay fee applies”.
We recommend you turn on your notifications on the ecar connect app so that you can receive push notifications as a reminder about the overstay fee when you start your charge.
Now that you’re part of a new community of drivers, it’s important to be mindful of other people using our public charging network. Here are some things to remember when charging:
As well as using the ecar connect app, we recommend all EV drivers have a charge point access card which also allows you to charge across our network. As a member, you’ll receive a free card when you sign up. PAYG customers can purchase a card or get one free with a €20 (£20) top up. When you receive your card, please follow the detailed instructions to activate.
