Mullingar, Ireland, September 23, 2019 – EasyGo.ie, Ireland’s first privately-owned electric vehicle charging network, has today added a 6th Rapid Charger onto their growing Irish charging network.
The Veefil-RT 50kW DC Rapid Charger from world-leading DC charging technology specialists, Tritium, will work on the EasyGo.ie network which enjoys interoperability with other network operators across Europe due to its partnership with the pan-European services provider www.Gireve.com.
Interoperability between network operators was a cornerstone of the decision published by the Irish Commissioner for Regulation of Utilities as it makes it possible for drivers to find and use chargers from different network providers without having to sign up for multiple accounts.
The successful installation marks another step in the direction towards EasyGo.ie chargers being available nationwide and the Tritium 50kW DC charger, the most advanced of its kind and which can add an average of 50 kilometres of range to an electric vehicle in just 10 minutes.
“Sales of new EVs in Ireland are set to grow exponentially as the Climate Action Plan to support getting 1,000,000 cars on Irish road kicks in. We look forward to playing our part by making more charge points available in more places to cater for this increase,” said EasyGo.ie co-founder, Chris Kelly.
“We’re always looking at ways to better serve visitors and guests as well as the future needs of our customers and we are seeing more and more electric cars in our car park recently,” said Josephine Hughes, Owner of The Mullingar Park Hotel. “We worked with EasyGo.ie because we appreciate the quality of the product and services they provide and this positively reflects the levels of comfort and convenience we provide to our visiting guests”
The Ceremony was attended by Peter Burke T.D.
“The deployment by EasyGo.ie of the first DC Rapid to go live in Mullingar is a welcome step forward in our efforts to combat climate change,” said Fine Gael T.D. Peter Burke. “Ireland has been a leader in the eMobility space for some time, and with EasyGo.ie entering the market with full interoperability arrangements with other network providers, Ireland can continue to lead the way.”
EasyGo.ie partnered with Tritium to leverage Tritium’s expertise in design, deployment and engineering, combined with its superior backend consultation and support capabilities. Tritium has installed chargers in more than 30 countries and its Veefil-RT is considered the most advanced charger of its kind in the world, with the smallest physical footprint – ensuring installation can be undertaken unobtrusively and successfully in areas where real estate or space is at a premium.
“The installation of publicly-available rapid charging options has been proven to lead to greater electric vehicle uptake across the world,” said Kevin Pugh, Country Manager, UK and Ireland for Tritium. “EasyGo’s plans to install chargers at an additional 82 sites is well underway. As people begin to see publicly-available rapid chargers coming available they’ll be more confident to switch to electric driving as they’ll see that the infrastructure is there to support them.”
Each Veefil-RT DC rapid charger features a modem which can alert EasyGo.ie and EV drivers – using the EasyGo.ie web app (with a native app coming soon) – in real-time if the charger is available or not.

Pod Point to deploy Tritium’s world-leading chargers into existing and future network rollouts across the United Kingdom
London, United Kingdom, March 9, 2020 – Tritium, a world leader in electric vehicle (EV) DC fast charging technology, has announced it has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Pod Point, one of the United Kingdom’s largest providers of electric vehicle charging solutions whose customers include leading retail chains across the country.
The agreement ensures Tritium’s Veefil-RT 50kW DC rapid charger, renowned for its compact design, ease of use and low maintenance, will be offered to Pod Point’s new and existing customers as part of its continuing nationwide EV charging network rollout.
Pod Point chose Tritium as its preferred DC rapid charger supplier due to the proven reliability of Tritium’s chargers, the ease and speed of installation and their unique design, which enable Pod Point to offer selected customers the ability to add their branding to each charger.
Erik Fairbairn, Pod Point CEO & Founder said: “EV adoption is accelerating rapidly in the UK and we’re making sure the charging infrastructure is in place to sustain the awesome growth trend that we’re seeing.”
“We decided to work with Tritium because their products are reliable, easy to install and have a small physical footprint. We also liked that it’s easy to add custom branding to the units too.”
“DC fast charging is a key part of the UK charger mix, especially for drivers who need to re-charge quickly on long journeys or in emergencies, and for commercial vehicles that can’t top-up charge because they don’t park often.”
Since its inception in 2009, Pod Point has manufactured and sold more than 69,000 charging points across the UK and Norway.
Tritium launched its Veefil-RT 50kW DC rapid charger in 2014 and since then has installed over 4,000 DC chargers, including many Veefil-PK 350kW DC high power chargers, for customers in more than 33 countries.
With the number of chargers that Pod Point requires for its rollouts and the speed at which they can be deployed and installed, Tritium’s Director of Business Development Europe, Jeroen Jonker, says the agreement with Pod Point was a natural fit.
“We have already successfully deployed the first rapid chargers to Pod Point ahead of this agreement; Pod Point values this ease of installation and roll-out speed,” said Jonker. “Pod Point’s clients also appreciate that our charger has the world’s smallest footprint, enabling charger deployment on their parking lots without sacrificing premium real estate.”
The UK Government recently announced its plan to bring forward the deadline for the ban on selling new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars from 2040 to 2035. Tritium’s Country Manager for the UK and Ireland, Kevin Pugh, says the need to rollout public charging infrastructure will now become paramount.
“Electric vehicle interest was already increasing, and when you combine that with the Government’s amended deadline it’s clear we’ll see electric vehicles become the norm sooner rather than later,” said Pugh. “However, not everyone in the UK has access to off-street parking, and as such drivers aren’t always able to recharge at home and overnight. This needs to be addressed with publicly available, reliable and plentiful charging infrastructure, and one of Tritium’s core goals is to make EV charging more convenient than re-fuelling.
“As diesel, petrol and hybrid vehicles are phased out, Pod Point’s rollout will be key to addressing this concern and ensuring drivers can charge whenever they need to. Our chargers can be fitted with contactless credit card readers to facilitate ad hoc payment, an increasingly important requirement in the UK market.”
