EV Charging & Parking Booking for Ireland
Turn Your Charger Into a Bookable Asset. Live in Under an Hour.

De Energy Hub is an EV charging and parking booking app: it connects EV drivers to bookable parking and charging hubs in Ireland, and lets hosts set their own hours, rates and energy labels, and QR booking and payment can take the place of a pay station. Every hub is public, so drivers and companies can find a charger or a space on their route while Ireland builds out its charging network. One app. Two hubs. Zero hassle.

A scenario every EV driver knows

9:47 PM. Three chargers. Not one free.

You've just checked into the hotel after a five-hour drive. The car park has three EV chargers. All three are taken, and nobody at reception can tell you when one will free up.

Reception: "No idea when they'll free up, I'm afraid. It's first come, first served."

You: back in the car, engine off, 40% left on the battery and an early start tomorrow.

📱Booked from the sofa, 8:15 that morning
De Energy Hub app: schedule your charging by choosing a date, start time and duration
  • Your charger, chosen in advance
  • Your time slot, booked in the app
  • Confirmed before you ever left home

You pull in, scan the QR code and book the next available slot, or go straight to the one you reserved. No waiting, no guessing.

Two hubs. One app.

Find. Book. Charge.

A Parking Hub is a bookable car park. A Charging Hub is a set of bookable EV chargers. Use either on its own, or link them so one booking covers both.

Your charger. Your rules. Your revenue.

Frequently asked questions

What is De Energy Hub app?

+
De Energy Hub is a parking and EV charging booking app for Irish businesses. It connects EV drivers with bookable parking and charging hubs, while letting hosts set their own hours, rates and energy labels and see their bookings and earnings. Drivers search the app or scan a QR code, then book and pay from their phone. Hosts manage bookings, check-ins, messages and earnings in the app. Every feature is explained on the app features page.

Can I book an EV charger in advance in Ireland?

+
Yes. On De Energy Hub a driver books a specific charger or parking space ahead of time in the app, choosing a start time and a booking length, so they know before they set off that it is booked for them. A guest at a host site books ahead and arrives to a booking they have already made. Drivers who arrive without a booking scan the QR code to start one.

What types of businesses can list their EV charger or car park on De Energy Hub?

+
Any Irish business or owner with an EV charger or bookable parking spaces can list. Current sector pages cover hotels and hospitality, campsites and campervan parks, holiday lets, employers and workplaces, depots and fleet operators, retail parks and shopping centres, farms, schools and colleges, councils and the public sector, tourist attractions, golf clubs, leisure centres and gyms, and apartments and managed estates. Hosts tick the vehicle types a Parking Hub suits: Car/SUV, Large Van/Minibus, Bus/Truck or Campervan. Find your sector.

How do I list my charger or car park as a host, and does it cost anything?

+
Download the app, create a host account, add a Charging Hub for your chargers or a Parking Hub for your spaces, generate a QR code for each charger or space, print them and go live. There is no application or waiting period, and set-up is typically under an hour. There is no listing fee. On full-price bookings you keep 100% of the rate you set, and the 15% service fee and VAT are added on top and shown to the customer before they pay. Every setup screen is in the hub setup guide.

Can I make money from my EV charger as a business in Ireland?

+
Yes. Hosts set their own rates: a rate per kWh for each energy label a charger offers, EHU posts included, and a price per 30-minute slot for parking. The customer sees your rate, the 15% service fee, VAT and the total before they pay, and on full-price bookings you keep 100% of the rate you set. Earnings by day, week and month are on your home screen in the app. Hotels, retail parks and campsites can use the app to earn from EV drivers.

Do I need new hardware to list my EV charger on De Energy Hub?

+
De Energy Hub works with the EV chargers you already own. You describe each charger in the app, set your rate and energy label, print a QR code for each charger or space, and go live. Typical set-up takes under an hour.

Can I offer free EV charging to hotel guests or staff?

+
Yes. There are two kinds of promo code, discounted and complimentary. A host requests the code from De Energy Hub, which sets it up in advance with a number of uses, an expiry date and whether it covers parking, charging or both. The host shares the code with guests or staff, who type it into the promotional code field when they book. The code is assigned to your business and you share it with your drivers, or De Energy Hub can set it up for named users if you ask. This suits hotels offering charging as a guest amenity and employers offering a staff benefit. Bookings made with promo codes still appear in your bookings like any other.

Does De Energy Hub work for campsite electric hook-up posts in Ireland?

+
Yes. De Energy Hub supports IEC 60309 (EHU) hook-up posts. An EHU post is added like any charger, with a rate per kWh, and guests book the time they need. With a QR code at each space, a late arrival can drive to their space and check in through the booking. See the campsites page.

Do I still need a pay station if I use De Energy Hub?

+
QR booking and payment can take the place of a pay station. Hosts list their charger or car park in De Energy Hub app and print a QR code per bay, so drivers scan, book and pay from their phone. For a detailed comparison with a pay station, see the parking booking system guide.
