IONITY - charging / fees / tips

Yup ^^

Signed up in the app and used it at Gorey. Would have been over €14 more expensive using Ionity app and €8.50 using ChargePoint. One session.

Correct. Give it a go sure. If you'd tried when you posted hours ago you'd have it all setup by now.

Not sure what you're doing so. In the app, register, fill in details, tap register.

Certainly and effortlessly on Android. One or two posters have had issues registering for some reason.

I’m on iOS, and when I hit Register, it opens up a map with my current location..... like it’s searching for a nearby charger, and that’s it, nowhere to actually register!

Is there a hamburger menu icon in the top left of screen?

I’m able to register on iOS. Load app > hamburger menu “Sign on now” > Register > form shows up

AndyBoBandy · 07-08-2020 05:51PM

Perhaps I have the wrong app??

I don’t see any hamburger menu

Is this the correct or incorrect App? The missus has being trying for the last week with no luck. Using Android cannot see any hamburger!

Thanks!

Awaiting my id3 so no harm to get this app and card also. Registered no problem in 1 minute.

Jimjay · 09-08-2020 03:55PM

I used the ios app. No problems at all and can register credit/debit card or sepa dd.

I registered on the same say as the esb app. My card arrived within a couple of days, still waiting for the esb card

Hopefully we wont need it for 12 months, if VW are good their word on the free charging.

Nooooooooooooo

slave1 · 19-08-2020 02:34PM

A true nail into the coffin, just got email Maingau prices for Ionity going to 73.11cent/kWh from September 1st.
Ionity charge points will be well and truly freed up (and I've never seen a car charging at one ever!!)

Cyrus · 19-08-2020 02:36PM

ouch

so then, leaving aside manufacturer subscription plans, whats the cheapest PAYG ionity option?

i wonder will the manufacturers make a better effort, i have a free one year sub to audis reduced prices, but it wont be worth renewing.

ELM327 · 19-08-2020 02:44PM

Ouchies.
Glad I don't buy a car based on Ionity so. Wow. 73c/kWh? You could run a nice petrol car for that.

MJohnston · 19-08-2020 02:44PM

BMW Ireland has still announced feck all in regards to a subscription.

AFAIK it's now chargepoint at 63c

AndyBoBandy · 19-08-2020 02:48PM

That’s the end of that so...

Only signed up about a week ago, and never even used it.... (only needed a small top up below so went for the slower/cheaper eCars...)

slave1 · 19-08-2020 02:48PM

Thanks for that but still way too expensive, have a Chargepoint card myself so will use that if ever stuck, but I can't see it happening...

...and if you arrive at a high SOC you may as well use eCars anyhow as the car will throttle back to charge rate (as we chatted about the other day)

Yup. 64c.

TBH, i'll still use them if a) ESB is in use or b) There's a significant amount of time saved by using Ionity vs Esb (faster charge rates), though in the Ioniq it'd be a couple of minutes saved at best.

Yeah, I arrived there at about 60%, and only took about 10-15% while grabbing coffee's, so using Ionity wouldn't have given me any more that I got from ecars..
