8 years warranty on the battery. Not my problem if it fails within that time.
I plan to "redline" the bejaysus out of it. And doing it will only cost me a few cents. That's the perk of having an EV
Nah. I'm planning to hold on to the car for 6 / 7 years, maybe more. Even if the car is worth nothing after 7 years (which it won't), my total cost of ownership will still be lower than on any other family size ICE car.
Can't lose here dude. All the subsidies are paid up front. I'm not exposed to the risk of higher fuel prices, car is covered by a full warranty for the first 5 years (not that there is anything much that can go wrong - the car probably never even needs brake pads / discs). I doubt the tax on EVs will go up and the depreciation hit on my EV is irrelevant to me as I demonstrated.
Just ordered a night rate meter, so from now on the dishwasher / dryer / washing machine etc. will all be switched on at 23:00 for further savings
You've changed dude!

Can a domestic supply handle a simultaneous EV charge, dishwasher, dryer, washing machine?
Would an electric shower and kettle boil be too much?
You can stagger some loads, the EV will most likely be charging all night depending whether you have a 32 amp or 16 amp home charge point and EV to match.
I currently have 16 amp home charge point or roughly 3.5 Kw, Washing machine, max about 2.5 Kw, Dryer, max about 2 Kw. No Problem.
32 amp charge point or 7 Kw and and 2.5 Kw washing machine is probably approaching the limit of most domestic supplies of 9.5 Kw leaves maybe 2 Kw to spare, fine maybe for a dryer just about, but you can set the dryer to come on after or in our case it's a washer dryer one of the best, AEG at the time anyway, so we set to wash only the clothes that can be dried and then the dryer comes on immediately after the wash, pretty handy and you can set the start timer for the wash too to kick in after night rate or to finish not long before you get up so they can be taken out.
Electric shower = fail. A 9 Kw electric shower and even a 16 amp charge point will blow your main ESB fuse for the majority of Irish domestic supplies. If that happens again they will most likely force you to upgrade your single phase supply.
However, in this situation of electric showers, priority devices can be installed so that power to the ev is removed temporarily until the shower is off.
But, what most people do not know is that again, for the majority of Irish homes with central heating, there is no need for an electric shower. I ripped mine out when I realised what a complete and utter waste of energy it was heating water when I had tonnes of it wasting away int he hot water cylinder. So instead I got a pumped shower only and it's brilliant, yes during the Summer months I use the immersion, but use it on night rate so it costs very little.
Hardware stores across Ireland are handing these 8-9 Kw showers out with people not having a clue that they most likely do not need these energy guzzlers. !
If anyone is due a new dryer and thinking about buying a new one the heat pump dryers use a hell of a lot less energy, I believe some as little as 1.5 Kwh V 6.5 for a traditional dryer , don't quote me on that I was just looking a while back and I might not be accurate but I was shocked by the difference. The heat pump in the Leaf was so good that it got me interested in heat pumps. 0 -

I've had my electric shower going and Leaf charging (16 amp) at same time without issue, however at an ECARS meeting users were looking for 32AMP chargers to be installled and they reported instances of fuse boards going up in smoke!0 -

Hahaha Class !
Well I believe priority devices would eliminate this, but my point still stands, most of the time, not all of course, all people need is a pumped only shower and not one that heats the water because if they have central heating that is a tremendous waste of energy.
I remember being told by the ESB Contractor no chance getting a 32 amp evse, the very same person immediately called the ESB when I said I was thinking of upgrading it would he do the work, the ESB called me within 10 mins to advise me not to do it bla bla. Unreal stuff.
Now this very same contractor on IEVOA FB Group is saying it's no problem getting a 32 amp EVSE imagine that for BS !!0 -

Great post there, Mad_Lad. We too had a pump installed for the showers / baths 10 years ago. This 1.5bar pump failed a few months ago and I replaced it myself with a 2bar pump. Even better showers nowDeleted User wrote: »I remember being told by the ESB Contractor no chance getting a 32 amp evse, the very same person immediately called the ESB when I said I was thinking of upgrading it would he do the work, the ESB called me within 10 mins to advise me not to do it bla bla.

So what are you saying, you reckon it is now possible to pay the contractor a bit extra and he'll do the 32 amp instead of the standard 16 amp free EVSE? That would be very welcome news. Waiting for the SEAI subsidy number so I can order the install.You've changed dude!
Not really. I've always driven my cars hard, redlining them regularly. Against the advice of countless people on boards telling me I'm doing damage to the engine. I've also always given out about the lack of torque in small (turbocharged) engines. For that very reason I have had mainly 6 and 8 cylinder petrol engined cars for most of my car owning years. And now an EV, which like a big engined petrol N/A engine, has a lot of torque available at idle."Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

Yes, if it is indeed 32 amp ready, if it had a 40 amp breaker in the EVSE then there's a good chance it is 32 amp ready.
This is what mine looks like.

It's all behind you now villain. The price of diesel is all you need to worry about!
You mean petrol
I intend having an EV again in the future so I am still very interested in how the project progresses here.
Sadly the media and most others have no idea what is about to happen with the CER review
