WattCharger and Kearys Motor Group: Powering Ireland's Electric Future Together Through 2026 and Beyond

A Partnership Built on Proven Success

The Irish automotive landscape is undergoing a remarkable transformation, and at the heart of this electric revolution stands a powerful partnership that's making EV ownership seamless for thousands of Irish drivers. WattCharger, Ireland's trusted provider of EV chargers, solar panels, and battery storage solutions, has extended its highly successful collaboration with Kearys Motor Group into 2026 and beyond—a partnership that's reshaping how Irish motorists experience electric mobility.

Since October 2023, WattCharger has been the exclusive EV charging partner for Kearys Motor Group, Ireland's largest family-owned motor retailer. This collaboration has consistently delivered exceptional results for customers purchasing electric vehicles across Kearys' extensive multi-brand portfolio, which includes BMW, Hyundai, Nissan, MINI, Renault, BYD, and their approved used EV inventory spanning twelve dealerships nationwide.

Following overwhelmingly positive customer feedback and a proven track record of seamless service delivery, the partnership has been extended into 2026 and beyond. Paul O'Halloran, Chief Operating Officer at Kearys Motor Group, emphasised the value of this collaboration: "The level of service they have provided to our customers transitioning to electric vehicles has been excellent. WattCharger's professionalism and expertise have made the home charging experience seamless for our customers."

Why This Partnership Matters for Irish EV Drivers

Purchasing an electric vehicle is just the beginning of the journey. The real game-changer lies in the seamless integration of home charging solutions and renewable energy systems—and that's precisely where WattCharger's expertise transforms the ownership experience.

Whether you're driving away from Kearys in a BYD ATTO 3, a BMW iX, a Nissan Ariya, a Hyundai IONIQ, or any other EV from their diverse portfolio, WattCharger ensures you have access to Ireland's most advanced home charging and solar solutions from day one.

This isn't just about installing a charger, it's about creating a complete ecosystem of sustainable energy for your home and vehicle. WattCharger's integrated approach combines smart EV charging with solar panels and battery storage, allowing Irish drivers to power their vehicles with clean, renewable energy generated right from their own roofs.

The WattCharger Advantage: End-to-End Green Mobility Solutions

WattCharger isn't just another charging equipment supplier. As an Irish startup with a mission to develop a greener Ireland, the company brings a comprehensive, future-ready approach to supporting Kearys customers through three core pillars:

1. Market-Leading Smart EV Chargers

WattCharger specialises in intelligent charging solutions compatible with every electric vehicle model sold by Kearys. Their flagship offerings include the solar-enabled Zappi EV charger and Ohme Home Pro, representing the cutting edge of home charging technology.

These intelligent charging units deliver:

• Cost optimisation through smart scheduling during off-peak electricity rates
• Solar integration that maximises the use of free, clean energy from your roof
• Real-time monitoring of charging patterns and energy consumption through user-friendly apps
• Dynamic charging that adjusts speed based on available solar power
• Future-ready design that protects your investment as technology evolves

Whether you currently have solar panels installed or are planning to add them in the future, WattCharger's solutions are designed with adaptability in mind, ensuring you can make EV EZ both now and in the years to come.

Key features of WattCharger's smart chargers:

• Compatible with all EV models from Kearys' portfolio
• SEAI grant-approved for Irish homeowners
• Available in black or white, tethered or untethered options
• 3-year manufacturer warranty
• Integration with Irish energy suppliers like SSE Airtricity's EnergiHub tariff

At the time of writing, Irish homeowners can claim €300 towards the cost of a home EV charger through the SEAI grant scheme. WattCharger handles all grant paperwork and applications, making the process effortless for Kearys customers.

2. Professional Installation by Certified Local Electricians

The quality of installation is just as important as the equipment itself, and WattCharger takes this seriously. Every installation is handled by trusted, Safe Electric certified local electricians who possess the specialised knowledge required for modern EV charging systems.

This professional approach ensures:

• Safe and compliant installations that meet all Irish electrical regulations
• Optimal charger placement for maximum convenience and efficiency
• Proper integration with your home's electrical system and solar panels (if applicable)
• Minimal disruption to your home and routine during installation
• Local support from electricians who understand Irish homes and infrastructure

The close coordination between WattCharger's nationwide installation teams and Kearys' sales staff across all twelve dealerships means that your charging solution can often be installed before or shortly after your new EV arrives, ensuring you're ready to enjoy electric driving from day one.

3. Solar Energy Systems and Battery Storage for Complete Energy Independence

For Kearys customers looking to take their sustainability commitment to the next level, WattCharger offers comprehensive solar panel installation and battery storage solutions across Ireland.

The synergy between solar panels and electric vehicle ownership cannot be overstated. By generating your own electricity, you can effectively fuel your EV with sunshine, reducing or even eliminating the cost of charging your vehicle. This creates a truly circular energy system: solar panels on your roof generate clean electricity during the day, excess energy is stored in a home battery, and that stored power charges your EV overnight.

WattCharger's solar solutions deliver:

• 30-50% reduction in electricity bills by generating your own power
• Increased home value through modern renewable energy systems
• Energy independence from fluctuating grid prices
• Optimised EV charging costs by using free solar power
• Future-ready installations designed for battery storage and EV integration

At the time of writing, the SEAI offers grants of up to €1,800 for solar PV installations in Ireland. When combined with battery storage and smart EV charging, Irish homeowners can achieve remarkable energy self-sufficiency and cost savings that extend far beyond just vehicle charging.

The Complete Kearys-WattCharger Customer Experience

When you purchase an EV from any of Kearys Motor Group's twelve dealerships nationwide, you're not just buying a car—you're gaining access to a comprehensive ecosystem of support, expertise, and sustainable solutions. Here's what the complete experience looks like:

Step 1: Expert EV Consultation at Kearys

Your journey begins at your local Kearys dealership, where knowledgeable sales teams help you select the perfect electric vehicle for your needs from brands including BMW, Hyundai, Nissan, MINI, Renault, and BYD.

Step 2: Home Charging Assessment by WattCharger

Through the Kearys-WattCharger partnership, you'll receive expert guidance on the ideal home charging solution for your situation. WattCharger's team assesses your home's electrical capacity, parking arrangements, and energy needs to recommend the optimal charging setup—whether that's a Zappi, Ohme Home Pro, or Ohme ePod.

Step 3: Solar and Battery Storage Consultation (Optional)

If you're interested in maximising sustainability and minimising long-term costs, WattCharger's solar specialists evaluate your property's potential and design a system that meets both your home and vehicle charging needs. With SEAI grants available for solar installations, the investment becomes even more attractive.

Step 4: Coordinated Professional Installation

Once your EV is ready for delivery from Kearys, WattCharger's certified electricians complete your home charging installation with minimal disruption. If you've opted for solar panels and battery storage, installations can be coordinated to maximise efficiency.

Step 5: Ongoing Support and Aftercare

The partnership doesn't end at installation. Both Kearys and WattCharger provide dedicated aftercare support, ensuring that any questions or issues are addressed promptly. This comprehensive approach to customer service has been the cornerstone of the partnership's success since 2023.

Real-World Benefits: What Kearys Customers Can Expect with WattCharger

The combination of an EV from Kearys and a WattCharger home charging solution delivers tangible, day-to-day benefits that transform the ownership experience:

Financial Savings

Charging at home, particularly during off-peak hours or with solar power, can reduce your fuel costs by 60-80% compared to traditional petrol or diesel vehicles. When you factor in solar generation and battery storage, many WattCharger customers achieve near-zero charging costs.

Over the lifetime of your EV, these savings can amount to tens of thousands of euros—money that stays in your pocket rather than going to fuel stations or public charging networks.

Unmatched Convenience

No more trips to petrol stations or waiting at public chargers. Your EV charges automatically while you sleep, work, or spend time with family. Wake up each morning to a fully charged vehicle, ready for whatever the day brings.

With WattCharger's smart scheduling features, your charger can automatically take advantage of the cheapest electricity rates overnight, or intelligently use excess solar power during sunny days, all without you lifting a finger.

Environmental Impact

By driving electric and charging with renewable energy, you're dramatically reducing your carbon footprint and contributing to Ireland's climate goals. When you combine an EV with solar panels, you're creating a truly zero-emission transport solution powered entirely by Irish sunshine.

Energy Security

With your own solar panels, battery storage, and home charging setup, you're less vulnerable to fluctuating energy prices and fuel supply disruptions. You control your energy destiny, generating and storing your own clean power for both your home and your vehicle.

Peace of Mind

The professional installation, quality equipment, and ongoing support from WattCharger ensure reliability and performance for years to come. Every charger comes with comprehensive warranties, and WattCharger's customer service team is always available to support you.

Why Home Charging Matters for Every EV Owner

Modern electric vehicles offer impressive range capabilities, many models in Kearys' portfolio deliver 300-500 kilometers on a single charge. However, to truly maximise the benefits of EV ownership, convenient and cost-effective home charging is absolutely essential.

Consider the economics: charging at home during off-peak hours costs approximately €3-5 to fully charge most EVs, providing 300-400 kilometers of range. That's roughly 1-2 cent per kilometer. Compare that to petrol or diesel at 10-15 cent per kilometer, and the savings become immediately obvious.

When you add solar-generated electricity into the equation through WattCharger's integrated solutions, your per-kilometer costs can drop even further. In many cases approaching zero during sunny months when your panels generate abundant excess energy.

This is where WattCharger's expertise transforms the ownership experience. Rather than relying solely on public charging infrastructure or making inconvenient trips to charging stations, Kearys customers can enjoy the ultimate convenience: waking up each morning to a fully charged vehicle, ready for the day ahead, all while saving money and supporting Ireland's renewable energy future.

A Partnership Vision: Supporting Ireland's Electric Future

The partnership between WattCharger and Kearys Motor Group represents more than just a business collaboration—it's a shared commitment to supporting Ireland's transition to sustainable transport and renewable energy.

Sean Kinane, CEO at WattCharger, captured the spirit of this collaboration: "We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Kearys. The success of our collaboration to date highlights the value of aligning our efforts to support customers with end-to-end green mobility solutions. We look forward to helping even more Irish drivers embrace renewable energy technologies at home."

With over a decade of experience in EV and plug-in hybrid vehicle sales, aftersales, and servicing across twelve dealerships nationwide, Kearys brings unmatched expertise to the electric ownership experience. Combined with WattCharger's mission to "make EV EZ" through intelligent charging and solar solutions, this partnership ensures that Irish drivers receive not just a vehicle and a charger, but a complete, integrated solution that maximises the benefits of electric mobility.
