EV charging on Ireland's main routes and touring routes
Each route below lists the chargers of 50 kW and up within 10 km of the road, in the order you reach them, with their network, power, plugs and whether they take a contactless card. Some routes are well served; the Ring of Kerry has a handful of fast chargers on the whole loop, so it pays to know before you set off.

Which of them you can use
That depends on your charging networks, your car's plugs and how you pay. ChargingSpotsworks it out for any route you plan: every charger near it marked compatible, incompatible or not sure, and why.What each network needs to start a charge.
