How to use the ESB Energy charge points
Access to the ESB Energy network is made via Zap-Pay within the Zapmap app or using ESB’s app, RFID card and in some case contactless payment. Drivers can also register an account with ESB Energy, with the driver billed once the charging session is complete.
The network has both taxi-only and public-use points, with access requirements the same across the ESB Energy network.
Where are ESB Energy charge points located?
All ESB Energy points can be found on Zapmap by using the network filter. This can be used on the desktop and mobile apps, and displays only those rapid points available on the ESB Energy network.
ESB is both a Zap-Pay partner and a dynamic data partner, providing a live feed of points that helps to show the most up-to-date charge point information possible. This means Zapmap can show if a charge point is in use, available or out of service direct from the network alongside Zapmap user updates.
Select 'Filters' -> 'Network' -> 'ESB Energy' to view only ESB Energy charge points.

How does ESB Energy compare to other networks in terms of pricing?
Zapmap monitors the prices of charging on the public network and reports on the prices charged by the top 10* rapid charging networks. The prices are updated on a monthly basis here: Rapid Charging: Top 10 Network Pricing
The price to charge an electric vehicle (EV) on the public charging network can vary substantively, and prices are increasing due to current issues in the energy market.
Updated on a monthly basis, the Zapmap Price Index shows the difference in prices paid depending on the type of charger and will also track how this is changing over time.
