Electric Car Chargers Unavailable at Charging Station

RTÉ Radio 1 Dublin 15d15d Impact 4
Electric vehicle charging stations using CCS and CHAdeMO connectors share the same power source. This means only one connector can be used at a time. The ESP fast charger charges 50 cents per minute if used for over 45 minutes. The app indicated that the fast charger had been occupied for approximately 35 to 40 minutes.

Yeah, they're the two different type of connectors. Yeah, for people who haven't done the jump to EV. That's what that is. Now the ESP fast charger. Yeah. And that charges you a penal rate of, I think, 50 cents per minute if you go over 45 minutes.”
