Stillorgan Park Goes Electric


We are delighted to announce that ESB ecars & the Stillorgan Park Hotel have joined forces to install multiple ecar charge points at the Hotel which is a unique first for a Dublin hotel. The hotel is one of the first in Ireland to have a charge point on site. However there is not just one, but three charge points, conveniently located at the hotel.

Daragh O’Neill, General Manager of the Stillorgan Park Hotel said, "As part of our overall Green Strategy and our continuing efforts to become an environmentally friendly hotel, we are delighted to announce that in partnership with ESB ecars we have installed three ecar charge points at the hotel for our guests and employees.”

The roll out of charge points is part of ESB ecars plan to build the charging infrastructure nationwide to meet the Government target of 10% of all vehicles to be electric by 2020. To date more than 560 charge points have been installed in public locations, service stations, commercial premises and in homes across Ireland.

Paul Mulvaney, Managing Director, ESB ecars said “We are delighted that organisations like Stillorgan Park Hotel are supportive of the nationwide ecar programme and proactively promoting sustainable transport. Charge point availability in hotels fits in with our overall objective to position charge points in locations where motorists can conveniently charge their car during their stay.”

Stillorgan Park Hotel is also the Official Accommodation Provider to the Irish Hockey Association which is hosting the Electric Ireland sponsored Olympic Qualifiers which took place in the National Hockey Stadium, UCD.
