Electric car owners are facing a €16.99 per month bill to give them access to the network of standard chargers across the country — and if they want to use the fast chargers they will have to pay approximately €7.50 per charge.

Eveo Solutions has become the first Irish manufacturer of electric charging stations after spotting a gap in the market, and has the UK and Norway firmly in its sights, writes Trish Dromey.

Ireland is to become the first country to trial a Europe-wide electric vehicle IT platform which will facilitate international roaming and seamless charging of electric cars across the continent.
