ePower and Lanthorn partnership to bring fast EV charger to Kildare

ePower is set to supply over 20 shopping centres across 14 counties nationwide with high speed EV charging points, following a partnership agreement with Lanthorn, who manages a portfolio of over €1.6 billion of property throughout Ireland.

Rollout will begin in 2025 and ePower is working closely with Lanthorn in association with their project managers, KSNPM.

At some point this year, Manor Mills' Dunnes Stores in Maynooth, Co Kildare can look forward to having their EV charger installed. 

ePower has been selected following a competitive process, which took into account the company’s ability to offer high speed charging facilities, tailored specifically to each site and crucially, the assurance that the sites would be maintained and serviced by ePower’s 24/7 help desk, field engineering and remote management.

Commenting on the development, John O’Keeffe, CEO of ePower said, “We’re very proud to be part of the drive towards making electric vehicles a better choice for consumers. The rollout and delivery of chargers, be it through public or private partnerships, is key to this. Through this partnership with Lanthorn, ePower plans to have super-fast chargers installed at shopping centres around Ireland, from Donegal to Cork and many places in between, it’s a great expansion for us in what’s been a hugely successful year of growth.” 

It’s been a busy year for the company as they have recently joined forces with Dublin’s local authorities to bring online up to 200 fast chargers across the region in 2025.

The initial phase of the project will see ePower’s high speed chargers installed at more than 40 Dublin locations across the four Dublin local authorities. The company also won six of 17 government contracts for the rollout of new high-speed electric car charging hubs across Ireland due to be operational by the end of 2025.
