ESB eCars

This is a very interesting chart. Would be interesting to see a histogram of sessions per location. I have heard statements like '10% of chargers on a network have 90% of the use', and wonder if it is true / applies to ecars

ESB acquires UK green energy retailer So Energy

via The Irish Times

“ESB has operated in the UK for nearly 30 years, investing more than €2 billion in generation assets including wind and solar, while also providing electric vehicle charging infrastructure in London, Coventry and Birmingham.”

Anyone have any more details on this?

Anybody else get this email from Easygo, overstay on AC charging after 45 minutes WTF.

Where EasyGo customers charge at partner sites, we are obliged to apply the fee according to the access rules they apply on their chargers. The rates applicable at each charge-point location are clearly set out on the EasyGo app.

  We have had questions recently in regard to ESB policy of applying an overstay fee (of €5 +VAT) where users continue charging on ANY eCars Charger (AC & DC) for more than 45 minutes and for every 45 minutes thereafter. This charger access rule and associated fee is decided upon and applied by ESB.

Yeah thats a bit of a silly move by easygo. ESB dont charge overstay on AC after 45 mins (!) but easygo do.

what do you want to know?

They've built carrignton CCCGT and tilbury Biomass power stations. they've bought several wind farms including a large part of the Neart Na Gaoithe wind farm

the Coventry project was a project for charging electric taxis.

the london one was a TFL tender they won.

@Black_Knight regarding the drop in Chademo percentage, is that down to an increase in CSS usage or was the total Chademo hours down?

It'll be interesting if the Chademo usage starts dropping, indicates the Leafs are being relagated to short trips only

In my own case, it's unlikely our Leaf is ever going to see a DC charger again since we'll just use the ID.4 for long journeys

I believe it is an esb roaming problem or policy, not necessarily an easygo thing. I mention it in the easygo thread.

I believe the same fee is passed on to other providers roaming to esb. I am not sure if this was done by mistake or not, but either way it makes no sense to use any roaming cards on esb AC chargers and stay for more than 45 minutes.

Leaf is 3rd best selling EV this year so still life in Chademo yet.

I did 1k km in herselfs Ioniq28 over the last 3 days, using a lot of public charging. Mostly on the M3/M50/M11 corridor. No broken chargers, one queue (SPOF - coynes cross) but otherwise all good.

The situation is a lot better than a couple of years ago.

We are burnt out, but if you insist

from random thread the dual CCS chargers at J14

and here is the CCS/CHAdeMO

Jesus I pulled up to circle k in templeogue for a charge. Nissan leaf charging here so I can't use the CCS.

For the love of all that's holy....how in the name of jesus can 2 cars not charge at the same time?

What are the ESB at? Complete balls of an operation. Not a single rapid charger in Dublin. Not one. Found out my brother in law's neighbour is in charge of the electric charging department in the ESB.

I've asked for an introduction.

8 car hub is apparently definied as 8 parking spaces 🙄

Yep he was there first so I can't "fast" charge. Fast is laughable because even our nearest neighbours across the pond don't even refer to 50kwh chargers as fast.

And my brother in law's neighbour is a she 😉😉. I must ask him if she drives a diesel!!
