This latest charge point is part of the roll out of a network of 30 fast charge points nationwide, and was officially launched by ESB ecars and Topaz yesterday. A standard charge point is also available on the site.
Fast charge point launches are planned for Topaz Cashel, followed by Topaz sites in Cork City, Athlone, and Cavan by the end of next month. Standard charge points will also be installed at these locations. Other planned fast charge point installations include Monasterevin in Co Kildare, and Navan in Co Meath.
The ESB ecars' Paul Mulvaney said "The increasing number of fast charge point locations will help to promote the wider adoption of electric cars in Ireland."
According to Andrew Graham, Topaz "As the largest fuels and convenience retailer in the country, Topaz is committed to diversifying its product offerings and giving customers as much choice as possible in order to fulfil their needs.
In addition to the roll out of fast charge points, ESB ecars is committed to installing a network of public charge points as well as installing charge points in the homes of people who buy electric cars. By the end of 2011 they hope to have installed 30 fast charge points; 1,500 public charge points across Ireland; and 2,000 home charge units (dependent of ecar sales).
