Is it possible to actually buy a new EV in Ireland!!??

zilog_jones

I thought I'd never buy a white car, but here I am now with a white Prius . It's pearlescent white though, so there's a bit of depth to it. Don't know if that's an option with the Ioniq.

Is it possible to buy a new 2018 EV in Ireland?

On CarsIreland website, I searched for electric cars 2018 and this list came up:

https://www.carsireland.ie/search-results.php?make_id%5B%5D=&model_id%5B%5D=&min_year=2018&max_year=2018&colour_id=&body_type_id=2&doors=&ncap_overall=&min_price=0&max_price=&road_tax_cost=&mpg=&min_engine_id=&max_engine_id=&fuel_type_id=4&transmission_type_id=&max_power_bhp=&green_rating=&min_odo=0&max_odo=&odo_type=m&added=&seller=&fts=&fts_or=0&submit=Search+used+cars

Now if not all of them are in stock, or available to buy right now, don't shoot the messenger!

Out of the 12 in your list, 7 are for pre-ordering the new Leaf. 1 is for an old Leaf that no one will want for that price. 1 is for Zoe pre-order. 1 is for Ioniq EV but showing picture of hybrid. Not sure what the story is there.

That leaves just one 181 Zoe and one 181 Ioniq EV that are actually for sale

This is def not available ^^^
Had a long chat to a guy in Farview Motors, and he said he could get his hands on a white one (same one another poster referenced earlier in this thread)

As for the Leafs....they are available....kind of....if you don't mind waiting a few months.

In fact most of the Nissan Ads are click bait to reserve one!
The first is the old Leaf, so it might be "new", but you would be mad to buy that now with the 2018 model "weeks" away.

There are possibly 2 Zoes, but I ruled that out of my search as the booth is too small for my needs.

I've just phoned every Hyundai dealer in Ireland. Any colour you like................ as long as it's white! There's more white in Hyundai showrooms than Kildare during storm Emma.

I hate false advertising.

Morning folks. I was on here a couple of years back seeking advice on buying an ev. Didn't do it then but happy to say I've put a deposit down on an ioniq.

From reading the threads I thought that I'd be waiting 6-8 months so I rang a garage to ask about lead in times. They had one in stock so I went for it.

Can't wait now! Thanks to everyone who posts here. Your insights and knowledge are extremely helpful. I had thought about the new leaf as an alternative if I couldnt get my hands on the ioniq but from reading the threads I had a nagging doubt. Just have to find a name for it now!

Good man! Only inventory seems to be white I dont want a white car Very impressed after the test drive I did, and a few videos online seems to who the Ioniq getting more range then the new Leaf due to being lighter and more efficient!!

Yep mines white. It's the colour I'd have chosen anyhow out of the available colors so all good. Hope to get it next week.

There's a white one on his site alright. What did he say about the silver one?

The pictures are a bit strange. No outside shots apart from the hybrid one. Not even a glimpse of the colour. The rear view camera shot looks like another stock image. The colour could be white or silver.

White is an undesirable colour for any car in my tastes, but it will save you €700 (as it is a solid, non-metallic paint) and in fairness, the Ioniq in white is not too bad. Wrap the gril and maybe even the roof in glossy black and it's not bad at all

White looks good on any car that have contrasting design elements. Ioniq is definitely one of those. I would be slow to pick it for a Dacia with steel wheels but good spec cars look great in white I think.

He never mentioned it at all. He just said he could get 2 cars, both white.

They have a very misleading (well... more inaccurate) finance offer in that ad as one of the photos.
It's listed at 289/month but doesn't say the deposit required.

Ok that's a different one. I was looking at this
https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/volkswagen-golf-e-golf-85kw-dsg-electric/14651452
Which is the only golf EV that shows up if you set fuel to electric and search golf as keyword.

That the stock ad they have up....they actually don't have that car unless it is the demo model. They have the same ad on carzone

The ad I posted is the one which they had on way in a few weeks ago
