See below our video which explains how to charge your EV using an ESB Energy Rapid Charger.
You must activate your card before use by following the steps below:
The minimum amount you can top your account up at a time is £10.
Use the official EV Plug In app: Manage your account through the EV Plug In app or via this website. Regularly install updates on your phone, tablet and computer - security patches help protect you from known threats. Where contactless payments are being used check the payment terminal for any loose or bulky attachments on the card reader, extra wires or panels, unusual stickers or QR codes looking for payment details.
Be alert: Watch out for emails, texts, or phone calls asking for your login details or payment information. We never request that information as it’s personal to you. Avoid clicking suspicious links and never share your password. Use a unique complex password – avoid using the same password across different accounts. The NCSC and UK Safer Internet Centre advise reporting suspect messages to report@phishing.gov.uk or text scams to 7726.
Protect your account: Check for unexpected charges, new devices, or unusual logins. If you notice anything suspicious, contact us immediately.
Protect your card: Keep your charge point access card secure and out of sight when not in use. Never leave your card at a charge point and never share your card with others.
Report it: If you notice anything unusual, notify us immediately at EVsupport@esbenergy.co.uk or 0800 030 4893.
