wow, without trying to insult the good people of Roscommon, that is just an odd as **** location for multiple fast chargers!!!

Sounds like a single charge point rather than a hub. That wont be Ionity.

Jim’s determination in getting the EV Fast Charger unit installed...

That all looks like singular and its in a Circle K, not a purpose built hub.

I thought all ionity chargers were at Circle K here.

Why would you Ionity build a hub at a place which is not on any major motorway route?
That can't be Ionity.

Mickeroo

What made me think Ionity was it being a Circle K and the mention of the higher speed than the usual e-car rapid chargers. It did strike me as a very odd location for one too, I didn't think of the possibility that it's just the shop owner installing one of their own back.

You mean you haven't read through all 43 pages of this thread? Shame on you

Page 26 has the planning permissions Ionity have been granted. They're also in the process of building a location at the Gorey Services (photos: https://www.reddit.com/r/evs_ireland/comments/bw8q6e/photos_of_progress_at_the_gorey_ionity_charger/)

Very much doubt it is Ionity. Along no major motorways etc


Make more sense if putting into Athlone for M6


Or even Longford for the N5

That announcement was back in March. Caseys redevelopment is almost complete and no sign of an charger yet. I asked one of the staff recently and she said that there is a charger to go in at the rear of the property but did not know when it would happen. Do Easygo have an 80kW Charger option?

All four spaces ICEd yesterday afternoon (Sun June 9) in Cashel.

Spaces definitely need to be painted and warning signs put up.

They had cones out in front of them a few weeks back, I figured they were there for this purpose, and that EV drivers would just move them out of the way and then back once charged.

Yeah, few cones up on the path near the charge points. I reckon a lot of people wouldn't even think of putting them back after charging.

At least there was no phev's or freeloading locals

50kw, 100kw, 100kw can be upgraded to 150etc. All chargers can be capped based on esb supply available to if 80kw is supply limit the charger can limit to that.

50kW cannot be upgraded.
The 150kW can be upgraded to 350kW pending software, site supply, and CCS2.0 cabling.

With the pricing at 8 EUR a pop they have cleverly made these not attactive to local users.

kanuseeme

What range or kWh would you get for 8 euro? I am trying to figure out costs.

Say you live in an apartment no access to a charger, the ionity chargers or similar would be the new petrol pump, couple a pops a week.

could it be worth it?

They need to erect prominent warning signs that an ICE vehicle parked there are breaking the law (even on private company land?)

VW e-Up (shortest CCS range car I could think of) you'd get around 70-80km for your €8


Tesla Model S P100D (Raven model with CCS adapter) you'd get over 550km.


All others are somewhere inbetween

It's a flat fee, so it depends entirely on whatever the charger can deliver into your battery at that time. That's dependent on your state of charge (SOC%) when you arrive, and is limited in the case of some cars to a figure under 100%.

As an example, if I arrived with my Ioniq on 20%, and bearing in mind that DC fast charging is limited on my car to 94% (to protect the battery), then I could add 74%, which on a 28 kWh battery works out at about 21 kWh, and at my usual consumption of 16 kWh/100 km, that gives about 130 km of range, or about 6c per km.

If your car has a bigger battery, and/or you arrive with a lower SOC, then you would get an even better deal, and vice versa obviously.

Problem is they are not breaking a law, as you say it is private land.
However the landowner could withdraw their consent for you to be there , should you ice the spots. Then it becomes illegal. The simple act of blocking the spot is not illegal, so you cannot erect a sign saying it is.


A small but important nuance.

Really depends on your car. I’ve an egolf ( 32kW usable ) and say I was to top up at 20% to 80% 19.2kw on the IONITY network. At €8 that works out as just below 42c per kW.

* Edit * Going by my January to May average usage ( mostly motorway ) it’s 17.7kWh which would give a range of 181km.

A 19.2kW charge on the IONITY network would give 108.6km at 7.4c per km

That is high and I’ve learned to drive a lot more efficiently since which I can’t assume everybody would do. Last month was 4000km at an average of 15.6kWh/100km thanks to mostly 95km motorway speeds and some nicer weather.

Probably worth pointing out the 8 euro fee is temporary, so they say.

It's likely charging per amount of electricity used, or time, or a combo of both, is coming "soon".

Tweet ionity with a pic of this. They need this feedback if they're going to do anything about it.

One of the spots has a disabled sign on it, was this ICE'ed too?

On my visits there I’ve noticed that the disabled space is just used as a regular disabled space, i.e. by ICE mobility vans, and blue-badge holders. I think it’s great that an accessible charger is in place, but it kinda defeats the purpose if it’s just used as a regular disabled parking space. What if a disabled driver turns up in an EV needing to charge? They can be rightly pissed off that the accessible charger is ICEd. Maybe we need an “accessible” sign that’s distinct from the traditional “disabled” one?

We have to be all-inclusive lads. We also urgently need separate EV charging spaces for female lesbian disabled members of a the travelling community

Mickeroo

Or just make all chargers accessible in the first place like petrol pumps are....
