People can now pay contactless.
A Laois EV Charging Hub has been significantly upgraded.
Portlaoise Plaza now has four 200kW High-Power chargers which can charge eight EVs at the same time, providing 100km of charge in around six minutes.
The hub also has full contactless payment capability.
Pat McDonagh, owner of the Plaza Group and the Portlaoise Plaza, says, "EV chargers were becoming an increasing presence on forecourts. The Portlaoise Plaza is now bringing to over 40 the amount of High-Power charge points throughout the Plaza Group. We are the largest independent group with High-Power charge points and this is certainly the way of the future. We are delighted to be a part of it with ESB"
