4. Existing all island ev Charging Network
Public EV charging infrastructure
50kW Fast Chargers – x 92
22kW Standard Chargers – >1,000
RoI and NI networks allow cross-island travel and provides public EV charging in most communities with >1,500 population

5. Existing ev Charging Network (RoI & NI)
Fast Chargers (80+)
50 kW DC
80% charge in as little as 30 minutes*
Mainly located at service stations every ~60km
Facilitate longer distance journeys
Charging times depends on battery size and state*
Standard Chargers (1000+)
22 kW AC
Typical charging times vary between 1-6 hours*
Generally located on street, in public car parks, hotels, retail centres and transport hubs

6. Facilitating EV Fleet charging
Expanding the ESB EV fleet and depot charging
Working with dpd to develop a sustainable distribution hub in Dublin City Centre
Implementing a smart electricity load balancing solution for London Electric Vehicle company (LEVC – black cab vehicle manufacturer)
Fitting out Jaguar Landrover’s charging facilities at their new R&D centre in Shannon
We are also working with fleets, including our own, to develop charging facilities at the depots or parking facilities. ESB are currently working to develop the charging facilities for a distribution hub in Dublin City Centre for dpd which will see them use electric vehicles to deliver goods around the city. We are also developing smart charging and load balancing solution for the London Electric Vehicle Company in London who make the London black cab. Furthermore Jaguar Landrover are developing charging facilities at their new R&D centre in Shannon and we are implementing that for them.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Providing an electromobility service is much more than just charge points in the ground. What does a customer need? Find their nearest available charge point. To easily connect to it and recharge and then for that transaction to billed easily.
To provide that service you need the a network of charge points in convenient locations. That infrastructure needs to be smart and be able to communicate to our world-leading 2nd Generation Chargepoint Management System (CPMS). To support this network and the customer we have an Integrated Customer Service and Operations including 24/7 contact centre, O&M response and online digital tools which also provide “real time” Charge Point status to EV drivers

9. Infrastructure - The Trend in Tech
Faster Charging - Higher Power
50kW >150kW >350kW chargers
Quicker charging
Greater range from each charge
Multiple chargers at each location
Presently Fast charging is 50kW DC via CHAdeMO or CCS connection, but car manufacturers are looking to move to levels of 350kW.
Moving to such a level while still maintaining a connection cable still usable by the customer has driven to need to develop new cables which can handle the higher current and higher voltage while keeping the surface temperature down for handling. This has meant using active cooling with liquid cooling circulated around the cables.
Higher power charging also has driven up the size of the equipment so designers has moved towards separating the customer terminal with connection cable and user interface from the rest of the Station.
The interface protocols are changing to make the user experience simpler. This is done by allowing the station to identify the vehicle via A UID number when connected and thus can remove the need for the customer to identify themselves with RFIDs or Apps. So the customer could have the option to tie their payment account to their usage of a station, meaning all they needed to do was to simply plug in.
This has also the ability to improve diagnosis of a problem between a vehicle and a station.

10. Decreasing battery price
Battery prices decreasing significantly
This will see the manufacturing price of an electric vehicle drop quickly
The reduced battery prices should see EVs become cheaper than conventional vehicles after 2024

Planning for the Future

12. Future of EV charge point PILOT network
Agreement between ESB Networks and CRU on the future of the pilot charge point network (Oct 2018)
Charge points will continue to be run by ESB ecars
There will be no further regulatory funding for operation and maintenance and replacement of problematic charge points
Fees for use of the EV charging infrastructure will need to be introduced in 2019 to fund the maintenance and development of the network
Following relevant upgrades, fees for use of the fast chargers (50kW) will be introduced in H and the AC network in H1 2020
Comprehensive stakeholder engagement will take place prior to the introduction of these fees

13. Climate Action Fund
To deliver a project of this scale, in advance of mass EV adoption, will require financial support in ROI and NI
In July, as part of the National Development Plan, the Government launched the Climate Action Fund
ESB has applied for co-funding to develop the National High Power EV Charging Network

14. Benefits of a national high power charging network
Current Fast Chargers
Time to get 100km
~25 mins
Benefits
Facilitate the large scale growth of EV`s in Ireland
Ensure a better experience for EV customers
Provide multiple chargers at one location
Reduce queuing at charge point locations
Remove single points of failure on the network
Ensure that the latest fast charging cars are accommodated in Ireland
High Power Chargers
Time to get 100km
~6 mins
