EasyGo, the Irish electric car charging provider, has told CompleteCar.ie that it has just reached its one-millionth charging session. In other words, the company has now provided one million charges to Irish electric car drivers.
Charging in Cork
The big six-figure number was hit at the Midleton Park Hotel in Co. Cork, when EasyGo customer Marcin Owocki from Carrigtwohill, Co. Cork plugged in. To mark the occasion, Mr Owocki was given a €250 EasyGo charging voucher - which EasyGo says should cover him for a year of charging. Mr Owocki was also given lunch for two at the hotel.
Enhanced services
Oliver Chatten, CEO of EasyGo said: “Today marks a significant milestone as we reach one-million charges. Mr. Owocki makes use of a prepay contract with EasyGo and currently uses both our mobile application and an EasyGo fob to charge his electric vehicle and we are delighted to award him for using our services. There are over 60,000 registered subscribers on the EasyGo mobile app, and we are on track to see this increase with plans to roll out over 3,000 fast DC chargers by 2032. We’re committed to continually delivering enhanced services to existing and new customers across Ireland, staying in-line with our mission of decarbonising transport, providing accessible and efficient EV charging solutions for them.”
Grown significantly
Anais Gilles, Sales and Marketing Manager of Midleton Park Hotel added: “The demand for EV charging facilities has grown significantly in recent years among visitors to our hotel, and we are delighted to partner with EasyGo to provide EV infrastructure for customers. We’re proud that the one-millionth charge took place here at Midleton Park Hotel, it’s great to see customers such as Mr. Owocki - who has clocked 158 sessions at the Middleton Park Hotel - use these facilities.”
4,000 connectors
The one-millionth charge comes only just on the heels of Chatten having been announced as EasyGo’s CEO, following a major investment of €30 million by Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of Aviva plc and an increased investment from Rubicon Capital Advisors. EasyGo currently claims to be the largest public electric car charging provider in Ireland, with 4,000 connectors at 1,500 locations across the country, and 2,000 app uses each month.
