Explore our flagship charging connectors and cables — engineered to meet Ireland's EV infrastructure standards and EU regulatory requirements.
Ireland is rapidly emerging as one of Europe's most dynamic EV markets. Understanding the local landscape is critical for suppliers and procurement teams.
Key Insight: Ireland's government has committed to reaching 945,000 electric vehicles on Irish roads by 2030, backed by the Climate Action Plan and significant SEAI grant programmes — creating enormous demand for high-quality NACS and IEC 62196 charging connectors across the country.
Ireland's thriving tech sector — home to European HQs of Google, Apple, Meta and Microsoft in Dublin — is driving fleet electrification across corporate campuses. Large-scale NACS and CCS2 charging infrastructure is being deployed in business parks across Leinster and Munster, requiring robust, certified connector solutions.
ESB Networks and private operators like Ionity and Applegreen are rapidly expanding Ireland's public charging network. The National EV Infrastructure Strategy targets over 10,000 public charge points by 2030, with NACS compatibility increasingly required alongside Type 2 and CCS connectors to accommodate all major EV brands.
Ireland's Climate Action Plan 2024 mandates a 51% reduction in transport emissions by 2030. This is accelerating public and private investment in EV charging infrastructure, particularly in rural counties like Galway, Cork and Kerry where reliable, weatherproof IP67-rated connectors are essential for outdoor installations.
Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Iarnród Éireann are all progressing fleet electrification programmes. High-current DC connectors capable of delivering 200A–250A are in demand for depot charging of heavy-duty buses and commercial vehicles across Irish cities and towns.
SEAI's EV Home Charger Grant supports Irish homeowners in installing Level 2 AC chargers. Mode 2 portable NACS chargers are popular among apartment dwellers and rural households without fixed charge point installations, representing a growing retail and B2C segment for connector suppliers.
Ireland's high penetration of wind energy (over 35% of electricity generation) creates unique V2G (vehicle-to-grid) opportunities. Battery storage connectors rated to DC 1500V are increasingly specified by Irish utility companies and data centre operators for large-scale grid stabilisation projects.
The Irish EV charging sector is evolving rapidly. Here are the key trends driving connector technology adoption across the island.
Following Tesla's adoption of NACS across North America and its increasing acceptance by Ford, GM and Rivian, European regulators and OEMs are evaluating NACS alongside CCS2. Irish fleet operators and charge point manufacturers are already specifying NACS-compatible connectors to future-proof their infrastructure investments.
Ireland's grid operators are piloting V2G programmes with major OEMs. This requires bidirectional-capable connectors supporting 250A+ DC currents with enhanced thermal management — exactly the specifications SANCO's CCS2 and energy storage connector ranges are designed to meet.
Irish charge point operators (CPOs) are deploying OCPP 2.0.1-compliant smart chargers with IoT connectivity. Connectors with integrated smart control features — such as dual-button control for load management — are increasingly preferred by Irish commercial property managers and fleet operators.
Ireland's Atlantic climate — characterised by high rainfall, coastal salt air and temperature fluctuations — demands robust weatherproofing. IP67-rated connectors are now the minimum specification for outdoor installations in Ireland, particularly along motorway service areas and coastal charging hubs in counties like Clare and Donegal.
Post-Brexit trade dynamics and EU supply chain resilience initiatives are prompting Irish procurement teams to diversify connector sourcing. SANCO's global manufacturing capability with European certifications (CE, TÜV, UL) positions it as an ideal supply partner for Irish EV infrastructure projects.
Ireland's updated building regulations now require EV charging infrastructure in new commercial and residential developments. This is creating a sustained pipeline of demand for Type 2, NACS and CCS connectors from Irish electrical contractors, M&E engineers and property developers.
From Dublin's Silicon Docks to the Wild Atlantic Way, NACS and EV charging connectors are transforming how Ireland moves.
Corporate campuses in Sandyford, Cherrywood and the IFSC are deploying smart AC Level 2 charging bays using Mode 2 NACS connectors for employee EV fleets.
M1, M7 and M8 motorway service areas are installing 150kW–350kW DC fast chargers requiring CCS2 and NACS connectors rated to 250A for rapid throughput.
Electric port vehicles and logistics fleets at Dublin Port and Port of Cork are transitioning to electric, requiring heavy-duty DC connectors with high cycle life and corrosion resistance.
SEAI-funded rural charging schemes in counties like Roscommon, Tipperary and Sligo are deploying portable Mode 2 chargers for farmers and rural EV adopters transitioning from diesel vehicles.
