From watching the auction online. If it doesn't meet the reserve, but the last bid was close, they declare it provisionally sold and leave the bidder and seller work out a deal or not.
how do you get that provisionally sold info?
And a L40 - albeit ex taxi - just went for 6300.
Just waiting to see what the model 3 goes for. It's the dirty one, that's been on a few times. Its in 12 lots time.
EDIT: provisionally sold at 19400. Still too high IMO as it's 21k with the fees.
That's a very strong money for a L30.
Am online with Merlin's (I bought a diesel volvo but that's not the point) and a 2017 nissan leaf 30kWh just sold for 7k.
Am waiting to see what that dirty model 3 goes for!
Exactly. Completely irrelevant to an Irish buyer, more anti EV bullshit.
Tesla Model 3 had issues CCS charging when it first came out and zappi issues which were fixed with updates to chargers and cars software.
BP pulse chargers in NI cannot recharge some makes of cars and the very prototype Chademo to CCS adapter was tested in NI and did not work on some charger types.
Hyundai had issues with zappi but there was work around in charger settings, main issue was time estimate to full was way off as the charger started off slow then ramped a few seconds later but car displayed time to full at the slowest initial rate even though car was charging faster.
You hear lots of reports from.users who could not get their car to charge and then another car attempted to use same charger and it just worked.
It seems to have been an issue with the software or firmware for the charge controller. All clustered around July last year in the UK. It's further complicated by the fact that the issues only appeared on certain charging systems, all in the 350kW range. Or at least that's what I found when following that rabbit hole of a thread.
There was a service bulletin issued around that time for a software upgrade for the charge controller. This seems to have fixed the problem.
We don't have too many 350kW chargers in Ireland, so this may be why the issue hasn't been noted here. And then the service bulletin update may have been pushed out making the issue moot anyway.
thank you for the reply. Yes it seems like an issue
The OP asked for info about MG cars.
I've simply reported what i saw was an issue for them as requested.

Seems to be a real issue in the MG forums as well.
Perhaps you are right about the republc of Ireland, but, it is not beyond the reasonable for the OP to travel outside it's borders (NI being a glaring option).
Well your hole seems to know more than you.
For the amount of Tesla chargers compared to all the other chargers here in Ireland I can't see it being a big problem.
Never heard of it happening here in Ireland, where this forum is based.
This happens on some MG and BYD when trying to use the Tesla chargers too. The handshake doesn’t occur.
Nope.
Was a software incompatability.
Confirmed by the EV charger provider.
(This was gridserve in the uk)
Wha?? What are you talking about? She probably didn't take the cap out to plug in the CCS cable... Compatibility my hole.
Do some research on Public charging comparability.
I met a lady at a public charger who couldn't use it with her MG because the MG wasn't following protocols.
Came across this grant ad.

Pretty sure it’s the Opel version of the Citroën Ami called the “Rocks-e”.
What's this?
planning to go with an MG ZS EV. I searched other discussions but couldn’t find much info. What are your random MG ZS EV thoughts? What should be checked if you want to buy one of these cars
So my sister put a deposit down on this today…
Hyundai Kona Kona EV Premium 64 kWh
https://www.donedeal.ie/view/34421141
(Kona in Bolands, Waterford)
2022 one has wired android auto but no adaptive cruise control
I am not a fan of Lane assist and you can turn it off via a button on the steering wheel
But I do like auto steer on the motor way (keeps you centered in the lane) handy if you want to have a drink and can take your hands off the wheel for 20 seconds or so
Auto hold stays and on until you turn the car off
I have the 64kwh, the range is great and while the charging speed isn't ideal it is grand, if you are stopping to grab some food it will be topped up enough by the time you are done
Check the spec on the Kona, when I test drove it a few years ago it was a Paddy Spec with no android auto, no adaptive cruise etc ..lower spec than my Ioniq 28 at the time. It was upgraded at some stage but not sure when.
Solid car with decent efficiency and range.
Annoying things I found on Hyundai were the lane assist being way too aggressive (my Dad has a new Niro and he has to turn it off everytime he gets in the car as lives rural) and auto hold being auto off every time you stop.
yeah, she couldn’t live with a Model 3, and won’t buy a new Model Y (or any Tesla) because Musk is too much of a Cee U Next Tuesday….
I think she’s going to go and look at the 64kWh Kona. As I had already completely advised against the 39kWh version…
Go for the 64kwh Kona and give her a 12V battery charger for Christmas.
Model 3 available for around that price too, slightly older 2020 maybe. Think you might have one yourself 😁
Waterford to Dublin in 39kwh Kona , no she'll murder you. Ward off that.
Go with the 64kWh definitely. The earlier versions of the Kona have had problems with the reduction gear and traction motors. Not sure if it was sorted by 2022 versions. Either way the warranty is 5 years so should cover you until 2027. Range is excellent and they are a comfortable drive. Spec and backseat space is a bit lacking but if that works for her then she should be ok.
hi folks…
Any thoughts on the 2022 Kona Premium 64kWh?
My sister is on the hunt for a 1st EV and it’s popping up in the right area in terms of cost/finance…. (€25k with 16@k km on the clock…
It’s this vs a 2023 version but only 39kWh…. They do regular enough trips from Waterford to Dublin so I’m swaying her towards the 1 year older 64kWh version…
any thoughts?
And he drives a skyactive diesel, probably the worst diesel engine ever made😊
