EV charging operators in Ireland
Operator-by-operator fast/slow charging rates, connection fees and minimum spend · 2026 public rates
Ireland has 456 fast-charging stations tracked in ChargeTariff across 8 public charging operators.
Fast (DC) charging runs from €0.60/kWh at Tesla up to €0.81/kWh at IONITY, on public ad-hoc (pay-as-you-go) rates.
ePower, EasyGo add a connection or session fee on top of the energy price, so a short top-up can cost more than the kWh alone.
AC (slower) chargers are generally cheaper per kWh than DC fast chargers but take much longer; several operators above price only the DC rate here. Rates are public figures as of 2026 and change often — confirm the live price in each operator's app.

Operator detail
AC / DC explained
AC (slower) chargers are generally cheaper but take longer, and some AC chargers require your own cable. DC (fast) chargers have higher power and faster delivery, usually at a higher price; most DC chargers use CCS2/CHAdeMO cables.
