ESB upgrades EV Charging Hub in Portlaoise Plaza

The ESB has upgraded its existing High-Power Charging Hub in Portlaoise Plaza, with the addition of three more High-Power chargers.

This brings the total of chargers to four at the location which are capable of providing 100km of charge in as little as six minutes .

The chargers are capable of charging eight EVs simultaneously. Situated just off the M7, these chargers ensure easy access while eliminating concerns faced when searching for charging stations.

Pat McDonagh, owner of the Plaza Group and the Portlaoise Plaza said that EV chargers were becoming an increasing presence on forecourts. “We have expanded our EV charge points over the past year with the Portlaoise Plaza now bringing to over 40 the amount of High-Power charge points we have throughout the Plaza Group.

"We are the largest independent group with High-Power charge points and this is certainly the way of the future. We are delighted to be a part of it with ESB."

The ESB has the largest public EV charging network with over 1,600 charge points across the country.
