Public Charging Rates, Ireland

Wondering what it actually costs to charge at a public charger in Ireland? Here's where we provide comparable pricing data for every CPO (Charge Point Operator) for their own chargers (i.e. not roaming), all on one page, & kept up to date as prices change. Pricing is grouped by:

  • How you intend to pay:

    • PAYG (Use of contactless / online payment; no account required);
    • Account (Use of app / RFID; account required, but no subscription), or;
    • Subscription (Use of app / RFID; account & active subscription required).

  • Charger Type:

    • DC (Fast / High Power) (CCS or Chademo), or;
    • AC (Standard) (Type 2).

We've included access fees, overstay fees, pre-authorisation / minimum credit balance amounts. Where an operator's price can vary by the time of day / location, we'll mention it, but show their prevailing pricing.

When viewing Subscriptions we'll also provide the plan's name & fees, & indicate when that CPO's Subscription may be less expensive v. their PAYG / Account.
