Circle K and Ionity grow fast EV charger network

Ionity is set to increase the number of high-power electric vehicle charging stations at six Circle K sites across the country.

This includes Athlone, Co. Westmeath; Gorey, Co. Wexford; City North, Co. Meath; Cashel, Co. Tipperary; and Kill North, and Kill South, Co. Kildare.

At least two additional high-power EV chargers will be added at each site (four at City North), increasing the number of chargers available to customers at each location to six.

This expansion will bring the total number of Ionity rapid EV chargers at Circle K forecourts to 36.

Ionity says its chargers have a charging capacity of up to 350kW and provide 100 per cent green energy.

In the coming 18 months, Circle K will be expanding the rollout its own branded EV chargers across 30 new sites.

This represents an investment of €7 million, which will add to its existing EV charging network across 44 service stations.
