Electric car charging options

One of the common reasons people give for not making the switch to an electric car is the thought of running out of battery. But thanks to an growing network of public chargers, innovative home charging solutions, and many workplaces offering charge points, it’s becoming an unlikely issue.

From plugging in at the shops to installing a wall-box at home, discover the ways you can keep your car topped up.

Charging your car at home is as easy as charging your phone or laptop. In fact if you only use your electric car to travel short distances, chances are you may never need to use a public charging station. Similar to when you plug in your phone, the battery will charge quickest up to 20%, and then slow down after it reaches 80% to protect its longevity.

Charging while you’re out and about can be simple and cost-effective. The ever-expanding network of charging points means there are now more charging stations in Ireland than petrol stations. Paying to charge is easy thanks to the numerous pay-as-you-go and subscription models on offer.
