Brite Rapid Charge launched the first multi space rapid EV charge station in the West of Ireland at Galway Retail Park.
Brite, a company founded by Colin Barry in 2023 is a spinoff of Brite Mobility, a multi modal shared micro mobility operator. The company divested from shared mobility in 2023 and began planning a multi-site Rapid charging network in the west.
Brite’s strategic goal is to electrify Galway and provide much needed charging services in a geographic location that has severely suffered from a lack of investment over the past few years. The Galway Retail Park site, has tested extremely well in the past week delivering the fastest speeds of any charger ever seen in the West of Ireland with 185KWH achieved on several occasions.
Colin Barry said; “I am all about coming up with innovative solutions to climate change barriers, specifically around transport. It is very clear that the public want and need our service. Take this great example from last week, a lady driving her EV from Shannon airport to Ashford castle visited us after 11pm and managed to bag herself a fifty percent battery charge in just over fifteen minutes and she paid the cheapest rate of any EV provider in the country at €0.41. She paid with her credit card and she did not need to download our Fuuse app. We are looking forward to launching our second site this summer in Galway with ten charge spaces which will make it one of the largest EV charging hubs in Ireland.”
