    No taxes are too high in general, certain taxes are too high, lower VAT will encourage spending = more money in the local economy.

    I was referring to Dacia being bog basic and some people like that.

    Lower income tax will encourage spending much more than a small cut in VAT - which probably would not be transferred back to the customers. VAT in general is a good tax because it is much harder to evade it.

    I would also reform VRT - it could behave more like luxury tax - the more expensive the car, the more percent you pay (up to 5% increase for >100k cars).

    Aren't we getting a bit off-topic?

    So if other countries pay higher taxes I shouldn't complain ? get real. Fine if you think it's acceptable to pay so much of your income in tax and all the indirect taxes. Fair play to you !

    That's an abuse of statistics. Hundreds of thousands in Ireland pay very little tax. The burden is on the better paid to cover it all. Compare the taxation at different salary levels for a better picture.

    That's how society works - it gets funded with taxes...

    And if we, on average, pay less taxes than any other nation in EU, there is not much room to cut them further...

    So too does the pockets of bankers and investors get funded with our money but be willing to shell out your hard earned all you wish.

    Taxes are necessary, balanced and fair taxes, we have no such system.

    +1

    The consensus seems to between 28kw battery and limited fast charging (CCS) options it's not going to be a game changer. Aside from looks it's not really all that different to the current Leaf.

    EDIT: I didn't realise that there are around double the amount of Chademo charge points as there are CCS (and 4 our of 7 in NI are out of action as I type!). To make matters worse on combo chargers the use of the Chademo port disables the CCS port and vice versa. This means Ioniq owners are competing with the (numerous) Leaf owners for scarce fast charge points in this country.

    So in conclusion: Ioniq fail.

    I think that's being hard. This is the way it will go, a three way choice.

    Remember, each is developing both their R & D and marketing strategy.

    Simply in 2 years we will have a range of makes and models in EV. Most charging will be at home at night.
    Hope most of them will have very good range. Then the market matures from niche to mainstream.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Most new chargers the ESB eventually install will be Triple headed units until they see where ChaDeMO goes, Fast AC is dead, there's going to be no EV with 44+ Kw AC other than Zoe and I bet Zoe II will be CCS. Hopefully they keep at least 22 Kw AC.

    I am betting Hyundai will offer more battery Kwh in 2017 and I think that would be a kick in the teeth for anyone who buys one of the 28 Kwh's. Hyundai is on record saying they will offer more range at a later in production.

    My thinking is to be much more independent from the public charging network.

    The Carlow Fast charge is replaced with a chademo and AC unit, does the Ioniq have adapter or is this type of charger no use to Ioniq?

    Carlow is now ChaDeMO only. I saw it the other day. No adaptor I'm aware of.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I Know there is a 3 phase AC to ChaDeMo device but it's expensive. But it would allow people to use the 22 KW AC chargers. And it's not too small either. I'll see if I can find it.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    https://transportevolved.com/2014/05/28/portable-three-phase-22kw-rapid-dc-charger/

    3 Phase AC to CCS and also ChaDeMo. 15 K euro's !!!

    Wouldn't that be very useful indeed !

    Without CCS it's slow charge only, on AC.

    The M9 has no CCS charge points *at all*. There is one at Naas, next one is the far side of Waterford. (It wouldn't win any prizes for Chademo either)

    No reason the ESB can't install these (or similar) in the future instead of the AC points. Ideal for shopping centres too, 4-8 of these on site.

    ^ As noted in the comments to that article, it's frustrating for BMW to choose CCS as it's "better" than Chademo and then roll out a pile of charge points that are only half the power of Chademo.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yeah it's funny,

    The New ChaDeMO or ChaDeMo II I think they call it can handle 150 Kw, backward compatible and the plug is a lot neater. I see no advantage to CCS, never did.

    The only one advantage right now that I can make out is that Chademo equipped cars still need a 2nd socket for AC charging, rather than a combo socket. Not sure this is such a big deal though.

    It's a bigger deal having to carry around an AC cable in the boot and set it up in the rain etc. Really wish all CPs had tethered cables. It's like having to carry around your own petrol hose instead of it being attached to the petrol pump.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Na no big deal to me at all plugging in or out a cable.

    The Public ac charge points I imagine are untethered to stop theft, less to go wrong etc.

    Any chance of these things standardising? I'm confused.
    Maybe I'm slow on the uptake. I feel this complexity in charge points will put a good few off.
    Some of ye are quite au fait with the variations.Any chance of someone putting up a simple graph table, cars compatible chargers, output, time etc. Or provide a link to same. Please.

    Fast (DC). Typically ~45-50kw. 80% charge in 30 mins or less. Two standards in use (Betamax and VHS):
    1. Chademo: Leaf and some PHEVs like Outlander. Japanese, and only used by Japanese manufacturers, but not all.
    2. CCS: i3, Ioniq, etc. A European invention. Used by most manufacturers other than Nissan and the handful of other Japanese manufacturers that use Chademo.
    These tend to usually (but not always) be part of the one charge point in Ireland. Using CCS disables Chademo and vice versa, i.e. even though there are two plugs only one car can charge at a time.

    Slower AC: 22kw max.
    Only really one type when it boils down to it, and usable by all cars, though the rate depends. Zoe can pull 22kw. Everything else pulls 3.3kw (most Leafs) to 6.6/7kw (some Leafs, Ioniq). Time from empty to 80% varies:
    3.3kw Leaf: hours and hours and hours...
    6.6kw Leaf or 7kw Ioniq: Probably about 25-30% per hour.
    Zoe: 1 hour.

    Many thanks N97.
    So, in reality, all public points should be Chademo/CCS.

    The slower job, should really be for home charging.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,922 ✭✭✭Soarer


    They're offering a trade-in allowance of €4000 too.

    Between that and the new Leaf coming soon, it should be a good stick to beat Nissan with if in the market for an new EV.

    Along arterial routes, yes. At shopping centres or other places where people leave their cars for extended periods (e.g. train stations) AC is fine.

    I left out home charging. It's the same as public AC at 6.6kw or 3.3kw if you're equipped for it. If you're plugging into the socket in the hallway and sticking the cable out the letterbox you're looking at 2.2kw.

    To figure out potential charging time of any car on any system, look at the size of the battery (in kw) and the size of the charger (in kw). Divide one into the other. E.g. an empty 22kw battery will charge from a 2.2kw supply in 10 hours. Add on a bit for losses, so more like 11. (This doesn't work for fast DC charging as the car hugely varies the charge drawn depending on the battery state)

    The 6.6 Kw charger in the Leaf is highly practical and so would the 7Kw in the ioniqu, especially with the larger battery but you'll get the same amount of range per time on the charger or maybe a bit more if the Ioniq really is more efficient than the leaf.

    Fast charging the leaf from about 18% to 80% can take 30-45 mins if the battery is cold , towards 45 mins so the 6.6 Kw charger can get from 30-95% in about 2.5 hrs, so when you don't need to charge as fast as possible and can leave the car a while then AC is very useful and can mean a lot of time saved waiting at fast chargers, come back to the car and drive off, you don't then have to look for a fast charger or wait for someone to finish.

    Dunno. It draws 10 amps by design, not 13. At a guess it's because it's powered up for hours on end.

    Was reading an interesting post on mykiasoulev.com the other day... It compares the batteries from a few EVs. It indicates (at the very end of the page) that the Ioniq is only air cooled .

    That's interesting. So it knows when it's plugged into a proper home charger then too, and it will draw 15 amps?

    Or 30. Presumably the "chat" the charge point* and car have to set up the session involves a discussion of what the charge point can deliver and what the car can draw.

    * or electronics in the granny cable


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The Bolt is a proper EV, thermal management is always good.

    The packaging of the bolt is a lot better, the Ioniq shows it's practically an ICE conversion.

    I'm amazed GM can sell it for 35 K USD Which would probably = 33K Euro's inc grant and VRT relief + VAT. This makes the Ioniq look very , very over priced and another reason I wouldn't buy it now. No point competing with the Leaf when the Bolt will be available soon.

    However the big difference is that it's unlikely the Gen I Bolt will have a right hand version, shame because it's a very good car.


  • Posts: 21,179 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The Granny cable ( portable EVSE ) will only deliver 10 amps, depending on the EVSE. Some of them allow you to set 8-16 amps.

    Domestic wall sockets were not designed to pull 13 amps continuous.

    2017 in EU, but not in the RHD islands. According to autocar the construction prevents Bolt/Ampera-e from being converted to RHD...

    Domestic wall sockets were not designed to pull 13 amps continuous.

    There's a small bit of irony there that every wall socket these days is a double, fed from the one cable in the wall, so in theory you could plug 2 x granny cables in for a continuous load of 20 amps, and it will work just fine. I checked this with a sparks first, who confirmed that domestic wiring and breaker in general are speced to handle the max the double socket can provide. (My job requires me to use 20 amps from a double for about an hour once a week, not EV related tho)

    Your fuse should trigger when you try doing that, that's why they are installed.

    2.5mm2 wire is safe for around 20A only, anything above is danger of fire.

    It could be down to the availability of LG Chem to supply batteries and electrics.

    GM Make the Chassis, body and some other bits bit but in reality this is mainly an LG Chem car and they have to supply batteries to other manufacturers and possibly the New Leaf so they might fear that they could struggle to meet demand and a way to reduce demand would be to eliminate the right hand drive market.

    A real shame, I'd love a 200 HP EV. Sadly I doubt Leaf II will be much more powerful than the current Gen.

    It's not as simple as that (there are maths involved!). The cable is rated for 26 amps and the 20 amp breaker that protects it won't trip at exactly 20 amps, there are other factors. Come over to my house and I'll show you, usually on Mondays :)
