The new 8 bay unit, at Junction 14 off the M7, is the largest in the country.

A new electric vehicle charging hub has opened in Co Kildare, which can charge a car in six minutes.

It usually takes people a night to charge an electric car at home or an hour at a standard bay.

The new 8 bay unit, at Junction 14 off the M7, is the largest in the country.

There are around 39,000 electric cars in Ireland.

John Byrne is Head of eCars at ESB.

He joined Clem Ryan on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today.
