The cost of Public charging

So you're saying ICE vehicles which have had undue privilege of 99% of convenient parking spaces for last 100yrs or so should have them moved to the least convenient.

In Norway they allowed EVs to use bus lanes. You'd be ok with that because well ICE have had 100% of all roads until recently. So that's undue privilege also.

I am not suggesting anything remotely like that. I’m pointing out that EV chargers have been installed close to ingress/egress points around most infrastructure.

In my country; Canada, I haven’t witnessed privileges granted to EVs in bus lanes, but cars carrying three people are granted transit status.

As far as automotive history goes, if a hundred percent of vehicles were ICE for most of it, then the notion of privilege explodes in a thousand tiny pieces. But don’t worry, unlike an EV fire, that one wouldn’t take an eternity to put out.

That has to be one of the weirdest chip on a shoulders about EVs I've ever heard.

ESBs licence prohibits internal subsidisation.

It’d been extremely dangerous for a semi state body abuse it’s position by making electricity users subsidy’s loss making part of the business so as to force out competitors

Smell of bitter old git from his posts alright.

Well, I will admit that if your EV park and charge are in out of the way places, that’s ok. In Canada, they are in privileged spots, which is quite unfair, but that is my take on it, sorry I got you all in a tizzy…

Considering Canada is the 51st state I assume it will have similar massive car parks to the US. They will put the chargers near where the shortest cable can be facilitated. Which is probably not the arse end of the car park in a 51st state style carpark.

Well, I’m not going to teach you a class in geography, on top of the other stuff you bungled.

Posting about charging EVs on the wrong continent kinda makes that a non runner.

Would you look at the Ghoul in with the thanks 😂

The cost for ESB using charge my hyudai.

edit: couldn't type on the phone

I would say that the 2 best cards to have in your car are the ESB Ecars, EZO and Octopus Electroverse. Most others services are just taking a premium to use a 3rd party charger.

Use Ecars card/account on Ecars (59c AC, 64c Fast, 66c High Power)

Use Electroverse on Ionity (66c), ecars high power (66c) and Epower (55c)

Use EZO when charging at Lidl (45c AC 50c DC)

Has anybody else noticed the €1.70 access fee EZO are now adding to their chargers after 3 minutes of charging?

No, it's free. There's also referral codes that get you a fiver (I think) in credit after your first use, there's a thread of them in Bargain Alerts's referrals sub forum. I've not put mine there so I'm not advertising that as any benefit for me!
