I dunno what way the commute is or how long it takes? 1.5 hours or so each way?
That's not that much more than a lot of people commute into Dublin city centre from the outer suburbs though. Did it myself for years. To be in for 9AM, I needed to leave not much after 7:30 and that was with a parking spot. And it will cost woppers less than a Dublin bus fare each day

That kind of driving is just mad, life is short enough,
I do agree that life is too short but it's my only option at the moment.
I get a day to work from home a week which takes the sting out of it. Hopefully in time I'll get another day or 2 and then I'll be elected

Active cruise + LKAS does help, it's great on busy motorways, but I bet woppers can't wait for fully autonomous driving
Apparently the hardware is all there. But I'd say the software won't be ready for years...0 -

1hr 20 minutes in the morning. 1hr 30-45 minutes in the evening depending on traffic.
One guy I used to work with took 1hr 30 minutes to get from the north side of Dublin to our workplace. I could get from Wexford our work place 10 minutes quicker 0 -

I tried the bus from Wexford to Dublin and back to Wexford for 2 months so that I could relax and save some money.
The cost of the 2.0 TDi Audi A4 was €400 a month on fuel and on average €400 a month on servicing costs. Total cost of €800 a month give or take and it took 3h to 3h and 15 minutes a day commuting.
Wexford Bus tax saver ticket cost me €120 a month but the commute increased to nearly 6 hours a day door to door.
I was depressed out of my tree after 2 months on the bus. I decided that €800 a month was the best option for me, my family and my sanity.
Now the Ioniq repayments a month are €405 + around €30 a month in electricity!
It's the best option I have financially and time wise.0 -

You're dead right I was hoping to hold out for a Tesla Model 3 but it'll be a couple of years at least before I can get one of them.
Hopefully they'll be fully autonomous in the near future.
I saw that video I think you posted about the Ioniq full autonomous driving. I'd kill for that feature right now
For the moment the active cruise control + LAS is as good as I can get. It really does make driving more relaxing0 -

That's who EV's suit at the moment
The crazy commuters
Your saving a fortune
Can the Ioniq make that journey without charging? If you drive real efficiently?0 -

Obviously I'm apprehensive I'll make it on one charge but unless I'm mistaken I don't see quick charge anywhere on the way... Says it's 197km on phone so reckon I'll need a stop.
Suggestions?
If it it was me I'd leave the house with 100%, stick to 100km/h max on the M1/M50/N7 and see what you have approaching Naas. Anything over 90% at Naas and you'll be fine to proceed at 120km/h to Tramore. Realistically you'll probably just need a short top-up at Naas FCP and you'll be laughing. 150km at 120km/h in the Ioniq is no bother especially in summer.
As woppers mentioned there's a FCP in Waterford which is conveniently located on your route to Tramore so worst case scenario you can top-up there again or just top-up for the sake of it. I used it at the weekend, small Top petrol station with a seated area, handy for a coffee while charging. Just beware of the picnic bench bolted to the ground in the left space at the FCP 0 -

Had a good look at charging near full this morning and the car was still taking >25kW at 92%. After that it tapered off quickly till it ticks off at 94%. If you're in a hurry you can switch it off yourself before that of course, but for the sake of 2 minutes (sitting playing on my phone in the airconditioned car after having had breakfast and coffee almost for free taking into account the free electricity) I think I won't bother doing that anymore as it is less work to let it finish itself 0

We do the same, saves having to get the eCar card from behind the sun visor and swiping the machine.0 -

Yeah the thing that impressed me the most about the Ioniq was the speed of charging.0 -

Jaysus, my Leaf is down around 2-3kWh after 90%.
Major attraction of the newer technology that.0 -

One of the caveats charging on the public network: You spend a fiver on food/coffee and get 1.50's worth of electricity. Cheaper to charge at home!0 -

I had night meter a couple of days after I ordered my car. My eCard a few days later. Then my free charge point a month or so later, still many weeks before I actually got my car. When it got a little bit quiet about the charge point, I sent eCars a robust email and got a call from the installer within the hour 0 -
Very true! And you are obviously very familiar with our local FCP: supermarket with cafe, Starbucks, McDonalds, Pizza place, Mao takeaway etc. And I've 3 very demanding kids
I am, and it's the reason I don't charge there much any more! I've also started bringing a bottle of water with me when on longer journeys, to resist the temptation of buying coffee that I don't really want during the 15 or 20 minutes I'm at an FCP.0 -
I always bring water with me and almost never buy a drink / coffee / snack out for myself. The joys of having a decent espresso maker and a freezer with lots of ice cubes
Today I made an exception with a €3 McD breakfast incl coffee, car was almost empty so I guess at night rates I sucked up about €1.90, so it was a fairly cheap outing 0 -
