Tap, charge, go. We never take your details, so we can't leak them. Your bank already does the hard work.
1 live + 1 coming.

Brite Ultra Sandy Road, adjacent to Sheils Ford and Europcar, is live in Galway today — 3 EVSEs. Galway Retail Park, beside Currys Superstore (4 EVSEs), is temporarily closed, awaiting manufacturer repair. Lidl, The Plaza on the Headford Road opens December 2026. Growing where drivers actually need us — sites take years to stand up, so we'd rather have a few that work than ten that don't.
There's an app,
if you want one.
Charge Assist (iOS + Android) is the official GreenFlux driver app, white-labelled for Brite. Use it when you want more than tap-and-go.

Something wrong
with a charger?
Don't ring us. Ask.
Our assistant knows every bay, every tariff window and every fix the team uses. Most faults are sorted in under two minutes without anyone picking up a phone — and if it can't be, it'll say so and put you through.
Need a receipt for
a charge you paid for?
Tapped a bank card with no account? That session is ours to invoice. Give us the last 4 digits of your card and the date, and we'll match it to your session and email the VAT receipt.
Sandy Road live.
Lidl Plaza, Dec '26.
Galway Retail Park is temporarily closed, awaiting manufacturer repair. Please use Brite Ultra Sandy Road in the meantime.
Every bay below is read straight from the chargers, so you can see what's free before you set off. Tap a pin for directions and a bay-by-bay breakdown. We add more pins when sites actually open — not when contracts get signed.
Bay states come from the chargers themselves and refresh every few minutes. A bay can be taken by another driver while you're on your way — if one is out, the team is already alerted.
Everything you'd ask at the charger.
Short, honest answers. If yours isn't here, tap Ask Brite bottom-right — the assistant answers in seconds, 24/7.
Do I need an app to charge?
No. Tap any contactless bank card or Apple Pay on the contactless reader on the main charger unit (not the dispenser).
The Charge Assist app is optional — useful if you want session history, VAT invoices, AutoCharge or the live map.
Why is there a €50 hold on my bank?
That's a refundable pre-authorisation, exactly like a petrol pump. Once your session ends, the hold releases and only the actual kWh cost is taken.
Most banks release the hold within hours; some take up to 7 working days. The €50 itself is never charged — only the real session cost. Your bank releases the hold, not Brite.
How fast are Brite chargers?
Siemens SICHARGE DC up to 300 kW per bay. Real-world speed depends on your car: 800V architecture cars with 200+ kW pack capacity hit the top of the curve; most cars see 60–90 kW which is normal and fine.
Starting from ~5% gets the fastest curve. Brite can't speed up a car's draw rate — that's set by the car.
What does it cost?
DC rapid charging, priced by site and the same at every DC bay on that site:
71c / kWh Sandy Road, 7am to midnight
66c / kWh Galway Retail Park, 7am to midnight (temporarily closed for repair)
60c / kWh every site, every night, midnight to 7am
Sandy Road's 22 kW AC bays are 60c / kWh, any time of day. Between 10am and 6pm the first 3 hours connected are free, then a parking fee of €3.27 per hour (5.5c per minute) applies. No parking fee from 6pm to 10am.
All prices include VAT. No connection fee, and no subscription needed — every driver who taps pays the rate above. Brite membership (€3.99 a month) is optional and refunds 3c per kWh on day-rate DC charges. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
How do I get a VAT receipt?
Two options. Easiest: Charge Assist app — every session is logged with a downloadable VAT invoice.
If you tapped a contactless card without signing up, head to the Receipts page and give us your card's last 4 digits and the date. If you charged through an app, that provider issues the receipt, not us.
What if a charger isn't working?
Open Ask Brite in the bottom-right of any page and pick “Report a fault” — we'll walk you through it.
It knows the live state of every bay and can usually have you charging in under two minutes — and whatever you report reaches the team in Galway, who monitor the network 24/7.
Where are your sites?
Galway Retail Park — H91 P5Y2, beside Currys Superstore. 4 EVSEs, CCS, up to 300 kW. Temporarily closed, awaiting manufacturer repair.
Brite Ultra Sandy Road — Terryland, H91 X7PD, adjacent to Sheils Ford & Europcar. 3 EVSEs, CCS, up to 300 kW, plus 22 kW AC bays.
Lidl, The Plaza — Headford Road. Opens December 2026.
See the live map for pins and directions.
Are you opening more sites?
Yes — Lidl, The Plaza on the Headford Road opens December 2026. Sites take years to stand up properly (planning, grid connection, civils, hardware), so we'd rather show you two that work than ten that don't.

Fast EV charging in Galway and Ireland.
Charging an electric car is simple once you know three things: how fast the charge point can go, how fast your own car can take it, and what you pay per kWh. Here is all three, in plain English.
What makes a charger “fast”?
Speed is measured in kW. Anything from 50 kW upwards is a rapid DC charger. Brite’s Siemens SICHARGE bays are rated up to 300 kW, which puts them among the fastest chargers in Ireland.
The 22 kW AC bays at Sandy Road are slower by design. They suit a longer stop, not a top-up on the move.
If you are comparing fast chargers in Ireland, the number to watch is kW, not the brand on the sign.
Every Brite bay uses a CCS connector, the standard on almost every electric car sold in Ireland.
Why your car charges slower than the sign
A 300 kW charger does not put 300 kW into every car. Your car decides the rate, not the charge point.
Most electric vehicles settle around 60 to 90 kW. That is normal. Cars on an 800V architecture with a large pack climb much higher.
Charging speeds are also fastest when your battery is low. Arrive near empty and you get the best of the curve. The full explanation is here.
Public charging vs charging at home
Home charging is the cheapest way to run an electric car, but it is slow AC power and it needs a driveway.
Public EV chargers do the other job: getting range back in minutes, mid-journey or mid-week. That is what Brite builds.
Most drivers use both. AC and DC charging compared.
What it costs per kWh
DC rapid charging at Sandy Road is 71c per kWh from 7am to midnight, dropping to 60c overnight. Galway Retail Park (66c by day) is temporarily closed for repair.
The 22 kW AC bays are 60c per kWh at any hour, with a parking fee of €3.27 per hour after the first 3 hours connected between 10am and 6pm. Every price includes VAT.
No connection fee. No subscription needed. See the full price list.
How to pay
Tap any contactless bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on the reader on the main charger unit. No app. No account. No sign-up.
If you prefer an app, Charge Assist gives you session history, a live map and VAT invoices. Roaming cards from other networks work too.
