About this app

Use Ireland’s extensive public charging network to charge your electric vehicle with the easy to use ecar connect app from ESB.

The app displays all charge points on the public charging network across Ireland in real-time. It enables you to register and pay, to swipe to remotely start and stop charging, to monitor and track usage, and to manage your own personalised account.

Ratings and reviews

Since the Nov. 2025 update the app just crashes when opened... please fix or revert to the previous version which actually worked. Have cleared cache/data, uninstalled/reinstalled, closed all background apps, rebooted etc... *On my phone, it seems GPS needs to be enabled before I start the app to prevent it from crashing on startup...

The app is very handy at ESB chargers, as it allows you to control the full charging experience with a few click and 2 swipes. You don't need a card or anything. Sometimes the app (or charger, not sure) can get confused and stuck when the swipe on the app and plugging of the cable are not made in the right order. What it needs now is a notification for overstay: When the time limit is close, the app should send a reminder because it is easy to forget about the 45 minutes.

Almost impossible to find charge points on map. I'm pay-as-you-go. Both app and charge point told me car was charging. I came back half an hour later to find no charge added to car. Only once I disconnected from charge point did I get an email saying I had insufficient funds. Would have been nice to have been told this at start of charging rather than being told car was charging for half an hour when it wasn't!!!!
