We've launched our first ultra-rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging hub in Ireland, officially opened by Peter Burke TD, the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.   Each ultra-rapid bay, at Lough Sheever, has charging capabilities of up to 150 kilowatts (kW), sufficient to deliver 12.5 kms of range per minute of charging. Customers will also be able to use Tap’n’Go payments, maximising convenience of access and simplicity of use.    The Lough Sheever chargers have been specifically designed to accommodate standard EVs as well as electric heavy goods vehicles (eHGVs). The hub boasts four long wheelbase drive-through bays purpose built for eHGVs, making it the first site of its kind in Ireland.   The launch of this 10-bay facility located just off the M4 at Lough Sheever Corporate Park in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, is part of SSE plc plans to build 300 ultra-rapid EV charging hubs powered by traceable, renewable energy in Ireland and the UK. Over the coming months, we'll open further hubs including Blanchardstown Business Park, Greenogue Industrial Estate (both County Dublin), and Ashbourne Retail Park (County Meath).    Our thanks to Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, who said “To reduce transport emissions and meet our climate targets, the Government is committed to promoting and incentivising the use of EVs. Private investment like this is essential to grow the network with the pace and scale required to meet Ireland’s ambitious targets. I am delighted SSE has selected Mullingar as the location of their first EV charging Hub in Ireland. I have no doubt that businesses in the region with eHGVs, as well as members of the public, will benefit from this innovative site.” #ev #evcharging #fleetmanagement #hgvs
