Love mine. Home charging on night ratez I’m spending less than a third of the price I did on diesel. Public chargers do take the piss price wise.
My record for lowest range when arriving home is 1km.
Range anxiety isn’t an issue for me.
According to Volkswagen Ireland. Are you really gonna trust a car manufacturer? Not hating – it’s just vw have a massive stake in this so anything promoting what they’re selling has to be taken with a pinch of salt surely?
Water is wet
Have owned an EV for the last 18 months and charge at home where €6 of electricity gets me around 450km. Even the highly efficient diesel we have does about 4.5l/100km.
450km would be about 20 litres of diesel for €30+ so huge saving. As others have said public charging is insane price wise. We love our EV so much that I’ll be replacing the diesel with a 2nd EV.
Been driving EVs for 3/4 years exclusively. I’ve never met anyone that has an EV and home charger that has any complaints about user experience.
People that have never driven an EV long term absolutely love to talk about issues with the network, with reliability, depreciation but the day to day of EVs work.
If we swapped out EVs for every private car in Ireland tomorrow it wouldn’t be sustainable. The amount it would cost us in road repairs is massive as EVs are heavier than gas cars and that doesn’t even take into account the inflation in car size over the past 10 years.
We need to be massively investing in trains and rail lines in order to meet our targets.
We got an EV as the second car of the house, which my wife mostly uses to drive around town and occasionally to the city. It’s more than adequate for us.. she’ll never need it for a long journey, and to be honest, the number of times I’ve driven my car on a long journey exceeding that EVs range is probably 2 or 3 times over the past 5 years, and I’d happily take a break in a public charger somewhere to recharge.
The only real requirement is having the ability to charge at home. Without that, it’s not that feasible to own an electric car, though some people make it work.
people who like playstation like playstation, what kind of bollox is this?
People who invest in item are more positive about item than those who choose not to
It’s official, coffee is delicious according to coffee drinkers
Best purchase ever. Paying 5 or 6 euro for a charge at home. Doing it once or occasionally twice a week.
If you do 300 Kms every couple of days on motorways it’s probably not for you yet.
Paid the same as a golf for an EV hatchback.
Pretty sure the survey was conducted for VW, I heard a VW guy on the radio extolling the virtues of Evs. VW happen to sell a range of EVs. What’re the chances?
Possibly reverse causality here. Those who are already more positive about EVs are more likely to buy them.
Well ill be damned.
I’ve been driving an EV for over 6 years. I’d never go back to ICE. I’m on my second EV.
I charge at home.
EVs are efficient, easy to drive and require very little maintenance. What’s not to love?
I couldn’t care less about depreciation. Cars are not investments.
People on this sub seem to like to ignore the current problems with EV. They’re simply not the wonder product that is often claimed.
1. Too expensive to buy new
2. Too Heavy
3. Chew through tyres which are mad expensive because of 2.
4. Brake pads and discs are chewed through because of 2.
5. Range may be ok for some but recharging is still too slow for many.
6. Range figures based on 100% battery but many say only use 80% or it’ll damage the battery. This isn’t a problem on my phone. Or a petrol car.
7. Second hand values are putting off new buyers.
8. The investment would be better placed into better public transport quality than investing in a better mode of transport for the richer people.
9. Horror stories about battery failures and massive replacement battery costs strike fear into prospective buyers
I might be wrong about several of these, but if so please explain.
I’ve colleagues who have moved into new developments (apartments, 3 different places) with no chargers installed.
This something I’d have thought would be planned in modern developments, plenty of shitty toaster style racks for bikes no one in their right mind would lock a bike to though ( I say that as someone who cycles more than I drive these days)
Is that really a surprise? The amount of negative press EVs get is insane. Every single one that catches fire or runs out of battery etc is plastered over every social media platform.
I have no interest in hearing the opinions of non-EV drivers on EVs. They literally don’t have a clue, it’s like me speaking confidently about horse racing or plumbing.
It’s the same with air fryers.
I changed to an EV for my wife 10 days ago. She does a lot of driving for the commute. It has cost us €14.58 to charge the car, whereas the diesel cost of our very economical diesel car at €1.70 a litre would have cost €75.32.
I wish we had made the switch sooner. Cheaper tax, cheaper maintenance overall and huge savings on running costs.
