The app is more than just an emergency device though as it will allow EV owners to pre-plan their journeys with information on all the charging points in the country right there in their pocket/purse etc. The app also provides users with the latest news from ESB ecars including the rollout of charging infrastructure.
In time the ability to see real-time information about whether the selected charge point is in use or not and the ability to reserve a charge point ahead of time is likely to be included.
To download the ecar connect app search for 'ecar connect' in the Apple store or Android market.
