Is it cheap?

Shocking photos. Why do people insist on trying to look for €12,000 and give you such crap photos?

Is it 3.3 charger only perhaps?

Been crashed?

Thats what i thought, shockingly bad pics and hardly anything to see, left bum cheek of car and a seat with stains on...

Nice price and tekna as well but i am looking for a 30kwh version because I do a 64 mile round trip to work, imagine doing that in the middle of winter with a 24kwh leaf... it would be fingers crossed and Teeth chattering every journey lol

And there is nowhere to charge at work either even though my place of work has nearly 250 employees, seriously what is this government up to? No wonder the uptake is slow, industrial estates should have charging post as standard.

Seems very cheap for a 30 kW and crap photos always make me suspicious. Op why not give them a ring and ask a few questions, get the reg etc

Yeah i might ring him but as of now i have a trade in worth about 6k and 10 large ish ready to go, its looking like a stealership for me.

It’s up to your employer to provide charging, not the government.
The government has done its part by providing grants and accelerated write off allowances for companies putting them in.

Have you asked your employer about putting in a charger or even access to an external plug socket.

Thanks for that, our company has said they will look into getting charging posts installed, has the esb started charging for public charging yet?

Our company recently had a charger donated by SSE Airtricity.

That’s interesting. It makes sense actually. The advent of EVs is a good thing for electricity providers as it means they will sell more electricity, so if a company installs charge points it’s good for airtricity (or whoever the provider is) so everyone wins. There should be more of this.
