ESB Energy Charging Stations

Published on
April 18, 2023

ESB Energy is a state-owned Irish energy company which provides over 1,350 charging points in Ireland and has started providing charging points in the UK. They have partnered with Transport for London, Coventry City Council, and Birmingham City Council to provide a fast and rapid network of chargings points for EV users in these cities.

They are a fast-growing public charging network that hopes to provide 100% renewable energy to London, Coventry and Birmingham. They have a membership that costs £4.99 to charge from; with their membership, you get slightly cheaper charging at their stations. Their charging points charge up to 50 kW.

Where Does ESB Energy Cover?

As of October 2022, ESB Energy has over 140 chargers in the country, and they hope to have 200 in the next two years. They only provide charging in London, Birmingham and Coventry because ESB Energy is the EV charging partner of these cities’ councils and transport authorities. They have plans to roll out more charging points in the Midlands.

They also provide taxi-only charging points for registered taxi drivers to charge from. Most of their charging spots have three chargers, which charge at different speeds and for different connector types.

Chargings Speeds At ESB Energy Charging Points

ESB Energy provides fast and rapid charging points for its customers. These charging points range from 22 kW - 50 kW chargers. They use the Type 2 connector for their AC charging and the CHAdeMO and CCS connectors for DC charging. Not all public networks provide chargers for the CHAdeMO connector.

Most of their charging stations provide a range of DC and AC charging points, although some are exclusively AC or DC charging.

To help you understand how fast these chargers are, we’ve calculated how long it would take to charge three of the nation’s most popular EVs from 10 - 80% using ESB Energy’s charging point speeds. We’re using the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf, the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, and the Jaguar I-Pace.

Charger SpeedConnector TypeTime to charge Tesla Model 3 Long Range to 80%
22 kW ChargerType 2 Connector4 hours, 46 minutes
43 kW ChargerType 2 Connector4 hours, 46 minutes
50 kW ChargerCCS & CHAdeMO Connectors1 hour, 3 minutes

22 kW Charger

ESB Energy’s 22 kW chargers are fast chargers which use the Type 2 connector for AC charging. They’re ubiquitous in ESB Energy locations, allowing you to top up your car quickly. They charge above the average max AC charging speed for most EVs, which means they’ll probably charge as fast as your car’s AC connector can handle.

To charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80%, it would take 4 hours and 15 minutes. Charging the Tesla Model 3 Long Range would take 4 hours and 46 minutes. Charging the Jaguar I-Pace would take 5 hours and 42 minutes.

43 kW Charger

The 43 kW charger is a fast charger which uses the Type 2 connector for AC charging. They charge well above the average AC charger’s max speed, so the 43 kW charger will probably be able to charge to your AC connector’s potential.

To charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 - 80%, it would take 4 hours and 15 minutes; to charge the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, it would take 4 hours and 46 minutes; and to charge the Jaguar I-Pace, it would take 5 hours and 42 minutes.

50 kW Charger

ESB Energy’s fastest charger is the 50 kW charger. This rapid charger is their only DC charging option. They use the CHAdeMO and CCS connectors, although not every charging location provides charging points for both connectors. Although this is ESB Energy’s fastest speed, it isn’t too fast, as DC chargers can go up to 350 kW in the UK.

If you were to charge the 40 kWh Nissan Leaf from 10 -80%, it would take 36 minutes; to charge the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, it would take 1 hour and 3 minutes, and it would take 1 hour 15 minutes to charge the Jaguar I-Pace.

How Much Does It Cost To Charge At ESB Energy Charging Stations?

ESB Energy charges different prices at different locations. They allow guests and contactless users to charge at their stations from 40p per kWh. They have a special price for taxi drivers from 38p per kWh. To use their charging points, you must download their app.

ESB Energy also has a membership scheme which costs £4.99 a month. For this price, you get to charge at their stations from 38p per kWh. This isn’t much of a discount, but it can be helpful if you only use your EV in the cities where they provide EV charging.
