About ESB ecars
ESB owns, operates and maintains a growing network of 1,500 public charge points across the island of Ireland.
Established in 2010 by ESB and other partners, ecars was set-up to support the first phase of electric vehicle owners in the country, and to develop and expand as the market increased. In 2015, the running of the network was awarded to the Electricity Supply Board (ESB) which continues to operate networks both sides of the Irish border.
