Hegarty’s Service Station on the N71 in Killarney and Donagh Hickey Motors on the N72 in Rathmore were confirmed among nine new Kerry locations. The announcement was made by Minister for Transport Darragh O’Brien as part of a €10 million investment to deliver 192 new fast recharging points across 90 sites nationwide.
Each hub will provide high-powered chargers averaging 250kW, located along national primary and secondary roads. The Kerry hubs will also include sites at Garvey’s SuperValu, Castleisland; Kelly’s Top Service Station, Tarbert; Circle K Express, Waterville; Murphy’s SuperValu, Kenmare; Corrib Oil, Kenmare; Keane’s SuperValu, Killorglin; and O’Shea’s Gala, Blennerville.
The network is part of the Light Duty Vehicle initiative operated by Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland (ZEVI) and delivered by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII). The new chargers are expected to be operational by early 2026.
