ESB ecars chargers in Ireland: 597 locations, and how you pay

Of the 597 locations, OpenStreetMap lists 167 as taking contactless, 236 as started from an app, 71 as taking a membership card or fob and 1 as needing no sign-up at all, and says nothing about paying at 356. A reader or app nobody has tagged isn't counted, so these numbers are a floor. Plugs, location by location: CCS2 at 130, CHAdeMO at 129 and Type 2 at 551; 21 don't say. 9 are for customers only.

What this page can't tell you

Whether you can use a given charger. That depends on the networks you have an account with, your car's plugs and whether you pay by contactless, which is what ChargingSpots works out on your phone: every charger marked compatible, incompatible or not sure, and why.

Whether a charger is free right now. Ireland's networks don't publish that openly yet, so neither this page nor the app can say.

Every ESB ecars charger. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers, so a new charger can take a while to appear, and some sites with several chargers are mapped as one. ESB ecars's own app or map, if it has one, lists its own sites first.

ESB ecars and every other network on one map

ChargingSpots starts with every network switched on. Turn off the ones you don't have an account with, choose your plugs and whether you pay by contactless, and the chargers around you or on your route are marked for you, with directions in Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps. Free, with no account.

Where the numbers come from

The chargers in the app, from OpenStreetMap on 24 October 2026, named by network as the app names them, each put in the county whose OpenStreetMap boundary it is inside. Charger data and boundaries © OpenStreetMap contributors. ChargingSpots is made by Caddora in Ireland and is not connected with ESB ecars or any other network.
