An EV charging management system built for leisure centres and gyms. De Energy Hub lets you offer free or discounted charging by membership tier, charge day-pass visitors per kWh, and keep EV bays turning over on your busiest class nights, all without a barrier or an attendant.
Pricing and access rules are entirely yours to set: this is the most common model, not the only one.
Unlike a hotel stay or a full workday, a gym or class visit is short, usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes. That's rarely enough for a full charge, but it is enough for a meaningful top-up, and members visit often enough that the benefit adds up over a month.
The challenge for leisure centres is less about charge speed and more about turnover: on a busy evening with back-to-back classes, a handful of EV bays can become a bottleneck fast. Overstay alerts and clear session end times keep those bays available without a member of staff having to check the car park.
Overstay alerts protect your busiest bays automatically: no wardens, no clamping, no confrontation.
Different membership tiers can get different levels of access: full free charging for premium members, a discount for standard members, or nothing extra for basic plans. Your choice, your rules.
Anyone scanning the QR code without a member code pays the standard per-kWh rate, no barrier to entry, no need to sign up for anything beyond the charging session itself.
Every De Energy Hub charger, leisure centres included, runs on Pure, Smart or Boost energy. Smart Energy in particular helps council-run and private centres reduce electricity costs during peak evening class times.
Leisure centre features current as of August 2026. Availability and onboarding details for Irish centres may change, so get in touch for the latest.
