EZO to install EV chargers at Irish sports clubs and rebrand
The charging rollout is funded with €15 million by the Irish Government’s Shared Island Initiative and ZEVI infrastructure fund. It will provide GAA, rugby, soccer, cricket, golf and other sporting organisations with 50 kW DC chargers, extending charging access into local communities, including many rural areas.
EZO is one of three suppliers chosen and says it will offer clubs a zero-cost, profit-sharing model. “Participating clubs will receive an attractive commercial offering helping them reinvest in grassroots sport,” the company states, adding that EasyGo will take responsibility for installation, maintenance and insurance.
The company highlighted that eligible clubs have already been identified, though it welcomes expressions of interest from other organisations. The rollout is expected to expand EV charging access significantly across both urban and rural areas in the coming year.
“The scheme is a major milestone in our mission to make EV charging available everywhere – not just in cities, but in the rural towns and local clubs that are the backbone of Irish communities,” said EasyGo CEO Ollie Chatten. “Sports clubs are more than places to practise or watch a match – they’re where people gather and connect. By bringing charging infrastructure to these spaces, we’re making it easier for families, supporters and volunteers to choose electric, every day.”
EasyGo just officially rebranded as EZO. The new identity comes as the network surpassed 110,000 users, placing it on track to reach 150,000 globally by year-end. The firm says it has more than doubled its workforce in 2025, expanded its network of DC chargers by over 40% year-on-year, and is preparing a pipeline of 150 new rapid charging locations, including more than 20 hubs, across the next 12 months.
