### 1/5 — Avoid/ don't use

*2026-10-17*

Charges you €20 to sign up then doesn't even seem to know where their own chargers are.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my account

*2026-08-21*

Attempted to login to the app for the first time in a while. My account is “suspended” whatever that means. No onscreen help whatsoever. In ‘guest mode’ no chargers are shown on the map. Are these people still in business?

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-30*

Why call your app EV Plug In when your company and logo (advertised on all your charging points) is ESB Energy? Along with the 50 other apps needed to have an EV in the UK, I can never find the right one, so please change the name to ESB Energy so that it matches the branding on your charging points.

### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled by the prices pictured!

*2025-12-18*

When I previewed the app, before downloading it, there is a picture showing £0.30 / kWh, those same chargers are actually £0.68 / kWh. Think I’ll stick to the other major network where I pay £0.26 with a low subscription!!

### 3/5 — Title suggestion

*2025-11-08*

You should consider putting ESB in your app name, it’s always difficult to find you app as it’s called something generic

### 1/5 — Terrible company to deal with

*2025-05-24*

Customer service team are full of back chat, I’ve had problems starting a charge every time I’ve used their chargers and it’s not cheap either. How can such a terrible company get away with charging premium rates? 

There are so many better companies to spend your money with, please think wisely before having to deal with this company.

### 1/5 — This is GB only

*2025-03-26*

Unfortunately this app doesn’t make clear that it only covers charging points on the island of Britain. ESB also has another app for NI/ Ireland chargers

### 1/5 — App is Rubbish

*2025-01-18*

Tried signing up. 3 times I tried to include payment method and the app froze. Worst part is it it won’t let you sign up till you pay, so every time I had to begin the sign up process again. Ended up leaving as I couldn’t sign up so couldn’t charge.

### 1/5 — EV PLUG IN APP

*2024-11-20*

I downloaded the app for use on 3 visits a year I make to Ireland.   The registration procedure is misleading and hard to understand.   On registration £20 was taken out from my linked account and then
 £4.99 taken from that figure.   I thought this amount was for a card I ordered and linked to my Bank Account.   It was not!    It was for a monthly subscription.   On looking through the app no Chargers were shown which made the app pointless.   I reported this to Customer Relations and to their credit they refunded the full amount and my account was closed.

### 1/5 — Badly designed and misleading

*2023-01-07*

Painful design - suggests pay as you go available but then forces a £10 payment up front before you even know if you will be able to get on the charger. All other networks will at least allow you to set up an account in advance. Instead you have to enter all details when you get to charger as a guest.
