FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ChargingSpots: Ireland, a free app that shows which EV chargers on your route you can actually use Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland, 4 November 2026 ChargingSpots: Ireland is a free app for electric car drivers in Ireland, north and south. Drivers tell it which charging networks they have accounts with, which plugs their car takes and whether they pay by contactless bank card. It then marks every public charger on their route as compatible, incompatible or not sure, and says why. Ireland's charging networks each have their own app, account and way of paying, and each app shows only its own chargers. A driver planning a trip has no single place to see which of the chargers along the way will take their card or their plug, and often finds out only on arrival. ChargingSpots puts every network on one map and checks each charger against what the driver actually holds. On a trip from Naas to Galway, for example, it lists the chargers near the start, on the way and near the destination, and in the app's example 56 of the 69 chargers on the way come up as compatible. It is available now on the App Store for iPhone, and is coming to Google Play for Android. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/chargingspots-ireland/id6826711702 Key features - Every charger on the route marked compatible, incompatible or not sure - Says why: payment, plugs, power and what you need to start - More than 1,300 chargers, north and south - ESB ecars, EasyGo, Tesla, Ionity, Applegreen, Circle K and more - Filters for compatible only, 50 kW and up, and distance from the route - Chargers grouped near the start, on the way and near the destination - Directions in Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps - Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - Favourites, and a note of whether a charger worked for you - Free, with no account, no adverts and no tracking Who it helps New EV owners who don't yet know which networks they need; drivers on long trips away from their usual chargers; visitors and drivers crossing the border; anyone who pays by contactless card rather than with an account; and fleet and rental drivers handed a car and a charging card. "Every network in Ireland wants its own app or account, and too often you only find out at the charger. I wanted one app that answers a simple question before you set off: which chargers on my route will actually work for me?" said John Sheehy, developer of ChargingSpots and founder of Caddora. What it will not do It cannot show whether a charger is free or in use right now, because Ireland's charging networks do not publish that openly yet, and it says so rather than guessing. Charger locations come from OpenStreetMap contributors. Privacy No account, no adverts and no tracking. Networks, plugs, favourites and notes stay on the phone. A place search and a route request go to the map service only to plan the route. Pricing and availability Free, with no in-app purchases. Requires iPhone with iOS 17 or later, or Android 8 or later. Works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Made in Ireland by Caddora. About Caddora Caddora is an independent Irish app developer based in Naas, Co.
