Pay & Control: Revolutionary Electric Vehicle charging system in Ireland

Cale and the Irish distributor MF Services  with partners have deployed a revolutionary pay-as-you-go vehicle charging system, ParknCharge.
An MP 104 terminal activates an electric charging post when the customer pays for his parking.

This solution allows for electric car users to stop off at charging stations and charge their vehicles without having a pre-existing account. This revolutionary service is of major significance to the parking industry as it connects the payment of an on-street parking space and the charging of an electric vehicle to a traditional Pay & Display terminal using coins or any other means of payment.

A big advantage with this innovative solution is that the car owner can charge his electric vehicle in the same way as he would refuel his existing petrol/diesel vehicle.

The first installation of its kind ever in Ireland took place at Steamboat Quay in the city of Limerick.
