There are currently 658 standard public charge points as part of the ESB eCars charging network which is supported by this Department in respect of the contribution the Climate Action Fund is making to the network. This is supplemented by a limited number of charging points provided by local authorities and retail outlets. In addition there are also 80 fast chargers and four high powered charge points, mainly on national routes. Public charge points are also provided by private companies such as EasyGo, Tesla and Ionity.
