ESB, in partnership with Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, has officially opened a new high-power charging hub on Narrow Gauge Road in Larne, providing rapid electric vehicle (EV) charging for local drivers.

Located just off the A8 and Circular Road, and close to Larne Town Centre and Larne Port, the facility features three 200kW chargers capable of servicing up to six vehicles simultaneously. The hub is designed to reduce wait times and deliver a fast, reliable, and user-friendly charging experience for drivers in the area. Contactless payment options ensure a seamless and convenient process for all users.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor Jackson Minford, commented: "We are delighted to partner with ESB on the delivery of this new high power charging hub in Larne. This investment represents a major step forward in our commitment to supporting sustainable transport and reducing carbon emissions across Mid and East Antrim, while also supporting local residents and businesses.

"By improving local charging infrastructure, we are helping residents, businesses, and visitors make the switch to electric vehicles with confidence, while strengthening Larne’s position as a key gateway for travel and commerce."

Funded through the UK Government's Levelling Up Fund (LUF), the new hub allows each 200kW charger to deliver up to 135 miles of range in just ten minutes. The launch is part of ESB’s ongoing mission to expand its high-speed charging network across Northern Ireland, making EV ownership more practical and accessible than ever before.
