IONITY - charging / fees / tips

Superchargers in sandyford if you have Tesla.

No ionity. Selection of ESB 150kw in area, e.g. sandyford

Check Plugshare, more optimised for finding EV chargers

There are no 150kW non-Tesla chargers in or near Sandyford. eCars at Knocklyon is probably the closest.

Yeah sorry - had a moment. Briefly thought the esb one across from aldi was 150 rather than 50.

That's some speed, very cool, how long will it sustain over 150kw for? I. E. At 80 percent what speeds does it charge at

Used the same model charger in the UK last August in similar heat without issues, saw sustained 125kW without any problems

Admittedly a long distance from 240kW but the voltage was doubled in your case, so current and heat output should be the same

Might just be an issue with that charger, or local grid was struggling to supply that much power

It was very busy there at the te so couldn't try a different charger unfortunately. I would have liked to have tried. There was an ev6 beside me but it was an my22 so I could see it was only pulling around 190kw.but without any issue.

IONITY PASSPORT: THE FLEXIBLE TARIFF FOR YOUR HOLIDAY TRAVEL

Just in time for the summer travel season, we have revised our tariff model IONITY PASSPORT. With the IONITY PASSPORT subscription, you get access to the entire pan-European IONITY charging network.

Your benefits:

• Discount on the IONITY DIRECT tariff
• Subscription with low monthly fee
• Can be cancelled at any time with only one month's notice
• Subscribe to the tariff and pay via the IONITY app

Elli is also changing its subscription to monthly but prices go up. 50c/kWh at Ionity on the most expensive plan. Prices at ESB and others go to 65/75c/ kWh for AC/DC. Existing customers unaffected

Ouch. That price rise to being a 20c discount (51c per kWh) instead of a fixed 35 per kWh price when subbed is dear enough.

The only positive is that it's changed to a monthly rather than 12-month sub.

The elli change is similar (but really taking the mick for regular AC or ESB charging rates if you don't have a sub)

Anyone else experiencing throttling at 80% at ionity Goffs

I'm driving a Kia EV6 . The last two occasions I’ve charged there it has dropped from 150 odd at 79% to 8 or 9kw KW at 80% SOC.

I was the only car there so I’d planned to go to 90% as I’ve a bit of juice then to spin around Dublin and get back down to Cork City.

wondering if it’s an Ionity setting ?

For a busy charging station ?

I disconnected each time at that speed .

The car was set to 100% DC charge both times .

Thank you . I didn’t consider that . Once a month there on the Dublin run would be as much as I’d usually DC charge .

Something to note for those considering joining the Elli subscription "Drive Highway" to avail of the €0.50 / kWh rate on Selected partners (IONITY & BP Pulse etc) across Europe - this discount is not being applied consistently like I'd hoped.

The €0.50 / £0.44 per kWh rate (from the "Drive Highway" sub) is not being applied to any NI or UK based BP Pulse/Chargemaster site (instead it's £0.66 per kWh, the reduced DC charger price)

But the €0.50 per kWh rate is being applied to UK IONITY and European IONITY chargers, which is great.

I thought I'd found the best solution to take advantage of the new BP Pulse sites in the North, while still having some reduction on the IONITY chargers here.

Another paid subscription with Ionity, from Chargemap this time

Again rates vary between countries, for Ireland it's 62.8c/kWh, so 10c below the standard rate

Monthly fee is €38.70 for the first 3 months then €12.90 from there on. Minimum contract is 3 months

Honestly it's not the best looking deal, but I guess it makes some sense if your heading to Europe for a while. Chargemap does work on a lot of chargers in France for example

Thanks to @innrain and @mfceiling for spotting this planning application
