Check the Shell Recharge or Everon app (while they still work), or head on over to Open Charge Map & use the search filters. 3/3

#EV meet-up for Cork. Small turnout as it’s was a bit of a wet day (and it’s looks like there is only Cork people in Croke Park for the All-Ireland Hurling Final).
But good chats, great to meet new and existing members of @ievasso.bsky.social as well as a free coffee from #ePower
