ESB ecars latest 8 vehicle high power charging hub, located at the Frascati Centre in Blackrock, Co. Dublin is now live.

This high power charging hub consists of 4 ABB Terra 360 units, each capable of up to 360kW, providing 8 CCS connectors - much the same as their setup in Airside Retail Park.

Each of the units features integrated lighting. The horizontal strip along the top of the unit indicates the connector availability on that side (white in use, green available), while the strip along the sides indicates the state of charge of the vehicle connected on that side (deep blue being the state, with lighter tones what remains), or white where none.

Cable lengths are good, & were seen to be capable of enabling connection to charge ports on the far side of the charging space.

Several methods of use are supported:

• Contactless payment;
• App (ecar connect), or other supported operator's;
• Card / tag (order in-app), or other supported operator's.

The native ESB ecars high power pricing that applies is €0.61/kWh (Subscription), or €0.66/kWh (PAYG). While the PAYG rate doesn't vary for contactless payment v. PAYG with app / card / tag, there's a pre-authorisation amount of €50.
