## ecar connect Reviews in Ireland

### ***-- "Good points and not so good"
Once you have found a charge  point the app is very easy to use for starting and stopping a charge and for topping up your account.  The search function to find a charge point is so bad that it seems deliberate.  The map always opens somewhere down in the furthest reaches of the South Atlantic and the list option generates results that seem entirely random, apart from all having nothing to do with the requested search.  It ought to be possible to do better.
-- Krakatindur, 2025-01-02

### *---- "Terrible UX"
Garbage app and garbage service. Use only if stuck.
-- John Woods, 2024-08-11

### *---- "Slow charge"
The 150kw charger costs a lot more than the 50kw but it actually charges slower, at 40kwh? On the 50kwh it&#039;s like 49kw, madness
-- Paper:Dog, 2023-12-10

### ***-- "It could be great!"
Let’s start with the positives. You can start and stop charging directly in the app. Simple but important feature.

The terrible. It would be so little extra work to add a map showing all chargers. When travelling you don’t know the name or location of the town you want to stop at. You look at a map and pick a location half way. For some reason, this app doesn’t have that.
-- Joobar, 2023-07-31

### **--- "No disclosure"
Charged an 8 euro penalty while charging at Luas stop.  Nothing posted and nothing on app to notify.  Complete money racket by ESB!
-- Klecko:48, 2023-07-19

### *---- "App no longer working"
App not working
-- eamoallen, 2023-07-17

### *---- "APP OK"
App is good but increasing the price of a KWH to nearly 60 cent is a joke, if the price doesnt come down during 2023 i will cancel my subscription with esb e cars and i will be selling my EV and going back to a petrol or diesel car.
-- Mickseybrien, 2023-01-03

### ***-- "No charge curve or price"
At this stage we need charge curve and price in the charging screen , not just a time counter.  Some kudos given on iOS app that is opens works and starts chargers fairly quickly.  In 2022 it should follow a kempower example . Esb just not interested in leading or having a sexy app.
-- bdeithrick, 2022-11-22

### *---- "App does not give warning for penalty charge"
App does not give warning about penalty charge on fast chargers
-- corkalom25, 2022-08-21

### *---- "Beware"
Beware the first time you use this- the app does not tell you when changing finishes. You will be charged €8 overstay fee- which is a scam!
-- anniebrt, 2022-08-01

### ****- "Worked fine so far"
Not impressive though
-- faincut, 2022-06-02

### *---- "It’s a trap"
Once you sign up it’s impossible to cancel your account, billing or speak with support. Emails bounce back, no one picks up phone, no option to speak with customer service via app. They charged my card unexplained fees.
-- lsocalcork, 2022-04-05

### *---- "Fire the IT team"
Awful app, obviously not tested properly. #ESBSucks
-- TestWorm, 2022-02-08

### *---- "App coded for original iPhone…"
The app is incredibly bad, not only the design it self is absolutely terrible but it’s full of bugs.
Sometime you can’t even stop the charge and you have to do a emergency stop physically at the station.

The app is very very basic! It’s will display the number of minutes since your charge nothing else (while others would display kWh live speed, charts and price…) 

That feedback is just for the app not even mentioning the bad pricing plans (membership is totally  NOT worth it) the station are mostly limited to Dublin, Cork have mostly 22kw (ultra slow) and a very limited 50kw (still slow but fast according to ESB…) and only two station for west cork…
-- kevincork, 2022-01-10

### *---- "ESB do something!!!"
Esb a huge company and the application looks like it would be made in a kindergarten… everything freezes and runs slowly.

If the charger screen shows how much battery the car has, why is it not visible in the phone application???

Just 9 fast charger in Dublin City (capitol city) shame on you!!!
Just 1 fast charger on Dublin airport!!!!
Shame on you!!!
-- Kali82, 2021-10-14

### *---- "Error message"
Cannot open on iPhone12
-- Wackery, 2021-06-03

### *---- "Frustrating at best!"
The iPhone app keeps logging me out so I need to go looking for my log in details nearly every time I use the app. And always when I’m under time pressure. The card?  It just never works 😤
-- Furshin, 2021-05-04

### *---- "Can’t login"
Can’t even logon. App just shows spinning circle with no reason given. No wonder electric cars are shunned for so long and planet is going on fire
-- Eve and Steve, 2020-09-27

### *---- "Poor at best"
Pretty poor user experience, clunky and difficult to navigate. Would work better if maps were front and center.
-- MeDubFella, 2020-08-25

### *---- "Can’t cancel your subscription"
They have no way of cancelling subscription in app. You have to contact them directly. So you can sign up and give payment details fine in app, but cancelling somehow in app is just impossible
-- CormacT, 2020-05-23
