Maxol is investing €2.5M to rollout 12 high speed chargers across two sites, with 20 more hubs planned over the next three years.
Maxol Each site will feature six high speed 200kw chargers offering a 15 minute charge time. The Maxol Group CEO, Brian Donaldson, also confirmed that they are considering a further 20 sites across Ireland.
“While our strategy is to offer EV charging in areas where we see greatest demand, the speed at which we can roll out our EV transition programme is hugely frustrating. Access to power capacity and the time it takes to connect to the grid are ongoing challenges with no immediate improvements in sight. The process is not aided by the high costs for substation and connection fees to establish these much-needed hubs both in ROI and NI,” stated Donaldson.
This is a landmark move for the Group in the Republic of Ireland and the next phase in its EV mobility roll out. Supporting the wide-spread move to EV, the company’s Ultra Rapid EV hub in Newbridge will open in March followed by Ballycoolin in May.
Maxol launched Northern Ireland’s first dedicated Ultra Rapid EV hub in Kinnegar, Co Down in December 2022 and Maxol Braid River, Ballymena at the end of last year.
