ePower Tullamore Retail Park Opening

ePower's after opening their latest, and largest, high power charging hub. It's located in Tullamore Retail Park, Tullamore, Co. Offaly - just off the N52 (& five minutes from the distillery if you're looking to pick up a Tullamore D.E.W. Honey).

Here you'll find 5 Ekoenergetyka Axon Easy 180 units, each capable of up to 180kW, providing 10 CCS connectors. To keep you occupied while charging there's the retail outlets, & Wendy's will be opening next to the high power charging hub in May.

While no canopy, there's lighting within the retail park and from the street lights behind the units. The units themselves also feature integrated lighting displaying the current status of each side's CCS connector.

Cable length was sufficient to enable connection to charge ports on either side, e.g. BYD Dolphin's charge port is on the front right, though whether I forward parked on left or right side of a unit didn't matter.

Several methods of use are supported:

• Contactless payment;
• App (ePower EV Charging), or other supported operator's;
• Card / tag (can be ordered in-app), or other supported operator's.

The native ePower high power pricing is €0.66/kWh (with the eVeryday Subscription), or €0.73/kWh (PAYG), with reduced rates available 23:00 - 06:00. PAYG rates don't vary whether contactless payment, ePower's app, card / tag is used though contactless is subject to a pre-authorisation charge.

So, next time you're in the area, check it out. Be sure to keep an eye on Infrastructure Updates for other new & upcoming charging locations from ePower & others.
