ESB ecars latest 8 vehicle high power charging hub, located at Jack White's Inn, Junction 19, M11, Co. Wicklow is now live & we were up for its launch.
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 setups at Frascati Centre & Airside Retail Park. It's the largest & most convenient to access of the high power charging hubs currently along the M11.
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. While no canopy, there's security cameras, & lighting between the chargers, around the car park, & the adjoining road.
Speaking of car park, rather than a singular row of charging spaces, the chargers are situated on central island, serving the charging spaces to their side, or up & down as the photo below is oriented.
Cable lengths are good, & shouldn't present any difficulty in reaching a charge port.
