EasyGo Announces Deployment of 200 Tritium Fast Electric Vehicle Chargers

EasyGo, the largest private car charging network in Ireland, has announced a multi-million euro investment in new fast DC EV chargers across towns and villages in the country.

The investment is part of a partnership with eir, Ireland's leading telecommunications company, which involves replacing telephone kiosks with state-of-the-art Tritium electric vehicle chargers.

EasyGo plans to deploy 200 fast DC chargers across Ireland under the partnership, with contracts already secured for 70 locations in counties Offaly, Mayo, Cavan, Waterford, Kilkenny, Tipperary & Monaghan. The chargers will be rolled out over the next six months, and EasyGo is currently identifying an additional 130 locations for new fast DC Tritium chargers. The program will be delivered at zero cost to county councils. The partnership aims to increase the appeal of EVs for drivers in rural areas, where public transport is less available.

Speaking in advance of the EV Summit in Dublin on November 9th, David Nicholl, Tritium’s Chief Sales Officer, said: “As an Irishman, I’m incredibly proud that Tritium has been selected as the exclusive technology partner for this project which will bolster Ireland’s transition to electric vehicles. With Tritium’s world-class fast chargers, electric vehicle drivers in Ireland will gain access to a fast and convenient charger designed to thrive in any environment. The efforts of EasyGo and eir will not only increase fast charger availability, but also make a positive environmental impact. Firstly, by encouraging more drivers in Ireland to adopt electric vehicles and secondly, by repurposing existing infrastructure to bring these chargers online. I look forward to experiencing these chargers first-hand as I travel with Chris and the EasyGo team as we roll out these chargers in towns across the country.”

According to the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI), about one out of every seven cars sold in Ireland this year is fully electric, and the rate of adoption of EVs is growing quickly.
