Superchargers are open to all
Irish Superchargers take other electric cars too. Non-Tesla drivers start and pay for the session in the Tesla app.

Is a membership worth it?
ESB's €4.79 membership pays for itself once you use about 96 kWh of fast charging a month, roughly 600 km in a Tesla.
For other EVs, Tesla's €12.99 membership pays for itself at roughly 82 kWh of Supercharging a month, about 513 km.
Both work the same way: a monthly fee buys a lower price per kWh, so they only pay off above a certain amount of public charging. If you mostly charge at home, stay on pay as you go.
Before you plug in
Tesla owners pay less
Tesla drivers usually pay a lower Supercharger price than other cars, and the price changes by site and time of day. Check it in the car or the app before you charge.
Use the network's app
Ionity charges less in its app than by contactless card at the machine, and EZO adds a fee per session. A minute in the app can save a few euro.
Home charging wins
A home EV rate costs about a tenth of fast public charging. Public charging is for journeys, not for daily top-ups. Compare EV rates
