The companies said the hub is designed to improve charging accessibility and reduce waiting times for EV drivers in urban areas through the deployment of multiple high-power charging points at a single location.The project builds on an earlier collaboration between EZO and eir that converted 109 public payphone kiosks into EV charging stations across 13 local authorities in Ireland. Under the expanded partnership, former eir telephone exchanges and operational depots are being repurposed into charging facilities to support the country’s growing EV market.“The launch of our first dedicated EV charging hub is a pivotal moment for EZO and for Ireland’s EV infrastructure. These hubs are about looking forward and delivering faster charging, better access and urban coverage at scale,” said EZO CEO Ollie Chatten. “As EV adoption continues to grow in Ireland, drivers need infrastructure that is designed for convenience and reliability.”eir CEO Oliver Loomes said the project represented an extension of the company’s nationwide infrastructure activities beyond telecommunications networks. He also highlighted the reuse of existing infrastructure for the charging rollout.“By transforming our network of buildings in urban areas into accessible EV charging points, we are extending that connection to people and communities on the ground,” Loomes said. “This collaboration will expand the accessibility of EV charging across Ireland, utilising eir-owned sites to deliver more sustainable infrastructure and helping drive environmental progress in a meaningful and practical way.”eir.ie, ezo.ie
