Irish electric vehicle charging company ePower said it has completed the initial phase of supplying and servicing EV charge points at five Defence Force bases around the country.
Over 100 charging sockets have been installed and ePower will provide ongoing support and maintenance for the equipment into the future.
The company has been supplying and installing electric vehicle chargers for homes, businesses and the public nationwide since 2019.
It won the contract to work with the Defence Forces through a public tender process earlier this year and said the infrastructure supplied as part of the deal consists of a mix of DC fast chargers and AC chargers.
ePower, which employs over 45 people, recently announced it had secured €2m in funding from private investors.
It said this money would be used to fund further development of its product offering, as well as providing additional resources for its sales and marketing teams.
Founder Director of ePower Hugh Hall says today's contract is a milestone for the company.
"Being tasked with providing infrastructure for these essential services was a great vote of confidence in what our company can do. The initial phase of the project has been a great success and I'd like to thank the members of the Defence Forces Energy Team for all their assistance," Mr Hall said.
"We look forward to working with them for years to come as electric vehicles become ever more popular," he added.
