Pay-As-You-Go
No connection or subscription - just charge and go!
If you are an occasional user of the network, it is recommended you use our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) price plan.
There are two Pay As You Go payment options:
Pay As You Go: Make a once off transaction at any ESB charge point via the ecar connect app. No account required.
Pre-Pay: Register with us and load your account with pre-paid credit either online via your ESB ecars account or on our ecar connect app.
The PAYG price plan can be summarised as follows*:

We charge per unit of electricity known as kilowatt hour (kWh). The mileage you will get per kWh will depend on your vehicle and driving style.
What's Included?
• Charge and go via our ecar connect app
• Live charge point map
• 24/7 customer care support
• Free ESB charge point access card worth €9.20. Initial top up of €20 required (Pre Pay only)
• Option to purchase additional ESB charge point access card for a once off €9.20 fee
Note: To ensure a charge point is available for the next user, an overstay fee of €8 applies for charging sessions longer than 45 minutes on ESB fast and high power chargers and after ten hours on standard chargers.
