ESB eCars

Ballacolla. I'm just going to keep posting ESB parking issues.

Unusually courteous for an Audi driver, normally they'd park across both spaces 😂

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and suggest that there was probably another car in the left hand space when they arrived 🤔

Imagine how puzzled would be a leaf owner getting an Ariya with its charging port in similar position as the Audi in the picture. Would probably blame the CCS :))

I was in the area so I went to see if any works have started at Circle K Clonshaugh. No they haven't but passed the ESB unit. A classic Ioniq was charging, a leaf was parked on the other bay waiting and a MG5 was on the road charging on the AC43. Next time I'll take a picture for your collection.

I can understand VW's thinking putting it there ... muscle memory for ICE owners. It's a pain for everyone when it comes to poorly laid out charging locations (i.e. almost every location set up by ESB eCars 😁)

Although, car manufacturers should eventually resolve to a common location.

Kia is a mix, EV6 has it back right, E-Niro is front left

Stellantis is all back left AFAIK

Can't wait to see someone import an F150 Lightning and try parking it at one of ESBs 3 car hubs. It'll probably take up the whole thing 😱

Just park it over the hub and use the charger as a ladder to get out of it 😂

With our last two cars we had to reverse up to the charger so could reach both cars in the rare event that we needed to charge the two cars on the one night. (Advantage of having a missus who goes swimming every morning at 6am😉)

Much easier now with the charge port on opposite sides to the previous cars, can drive in forward and park normally. Long Zappi cable reaches both cars.

Of course the right side is the wrong side, but works well with the Ioniq 5. 😊

Just plugged in at 22Kw charger and encountered some strange behaviour from the esb app/ charger. App claims that I was already charging for 14 min when I started the session. It started at 20.34 but I know for a fact from my dash cam time stamp (as well as i'm not mad) that I reversed to my parking spot at 20.47. Called the customer care and they confirmed what the app was displaying - I started the session at 20.34. At the same time I got no email saying I started the session, weird. The customer agent told me that I must have plugged in before starting charging so the unit counts the time from the time you plug in - this is bull as how the charger knows its my account/car before I started the session on the app. So I asked how much energy was delivered - 1.2kWh - well, I said, this is roughly shows that I was charging for ab 5-6 min on 11kW and not 20 min. He said then that l the internal clock on the charger is off by 14 min so when I stop my charging session the time in charging history will be shown as 14 min earlier. I will only b3 charged for the deluverd energy. Has anyone come across this weird behaviour?

Just swiped the card and indeed the charging session is 30 min and 5.6kWh charged while app says the charging session is 44 min. Def the internal clock.

Looks like a 3 car Anna hub. Hopefully there's no AC on the 50kW on the right.
