Transition to Payable EV Charging Network, Effective June 16, 2025

Dear Colleagues,

The EV charging network on the University of Galway campus will be transitioning to a payable system starting June 16, 2025. This change is being introduced to support the continued availability and efficient use of the charging infrastructure for all students and staff.

  • All employees and students will now be charged for the energy consumed during their EV charging sessions.
  • Rates will be visible in the Monta app. The first 4 hours will be charged at a standard rate, with higher rates applied thereafter to encourage charger availability.
  • The current fob system will be deactivated on the June 6, 2025.
  • The University's EV charging network will be managed by EC-Charging.
  • Please see below instructions for downloading and using the Monta app.
