Everything you need to understand EV charging grants, support schemes, and common questions — so you can build with confidence.
If there is no existing EV charging system or network in your car park, the company responsible for managing the complex can apply to SEAI for grant support. SEAI will provide up to 80% funding for infrastructure costs and will also offer €600 per charge point installed. The management company can make independent arrangements with you to pay for any difference to acquire ownership of the charger. Watch our short video animation that explains the process.
Management companies, or equivalent, of any multi-unit development with two or more units that share facilities, amenities, and services and where shared or private parking is available, but which do not have dedicated private off-street parking.
Private and commercial landlords who own one or more units in a development are also eligible to apply under the home charger grant but only for a bulk installation of chargers.

Use our mobile app or charger map to view nearby charging locations, connector types, charging speeds, pricing and live availability.
Each charger listing shows the connector type and maximum charging power available. Your vehicle must have a compatible connector. The actual charging speed will depend on both the charger and your vehicle's maximum charging capability.

The charger will automatically reduce or stop supplying energy when instructed by your vehicle. If you have notifications enabled, we can also notify you when charging is complete.
Some locations apply an overstay or idle fee after charging has finished or after a specified period. Any applicable charges will be clearly displayed before you begin charging.
First end the charging session and unlock your vehicle. Some vehicles require you to unlock the vehicle twice or release the cable through the vehicle's charging menu. If the cable remains locked, contact our support team.
Check the charger status in the app and try restarting the session. If the charger remains unavailable, contact support using the charger ID displayed on the unit so that we can investigate remotely.
Your RFID card will work across chargers and networks that support your account or participating roaming services. Compatibility may vary by network.
