    According to Jurgen Stackmann on twitter, 10,000 registrations in 24 hours across Europe.

    You would have to think that that's the big rush over and registrations will be slow from now on. It's a long way off 30,000.

    Porsche have managed 40,000 on the Taycan mostly Tesla owners. 30,000 on a golfish should be no problem.

    Put my reservation down yesterday @ Frank Keane Liffey Valley, been considering Tesla Model 3 since it was announced however not at near 50k for base model. VW ID looks pretty promising, really hoping Max trim will be an option for us here in Ireland!

    Can't be many of the 200 left? Surprised the 30,000 aren't gone yet.

    I think it's funny that the ID has 170 hp and Leaf 64 will have 215 Hp.

    I'm sure though the handling of the ID will be a lot better.

    Did they confirm the HP?

    I didn’t see any HP figures but I remember VW saying the entry model would have lower power to longer range models.

    Saw 128kW for mid range in a screenshot

    This was the quote....

    “Each of the three battery capacities will be paired with e-motors offering different power outputs. Christian Senger, VW’s Head of Product Line for E-Mobility, told Auto Express last year: “The entry-level car will have a WLTP range of 330km (205 miles), and it will also have more limited performance. If people want a faster car then I don’t want them coming back after three months telling me that it’s fast but that the range is too short. So if you want a fast car, you’ll need a bigger battery - simple.”

    Not too cool

    Will have to get the most expensive one to match Leaf62 performance then

    To be expected I suppose, Tesla do the same

    They said that in South Africa....I need to watch again but I thought it was 200+ and 180 when they said 2 battery models

    I read somewhere this launch model will be a performance model. Didn't mention specs but I'd assume bigger brakes (red capilers?) Spoiler and a few other body mods and a lunatic button.

    The eGolf has huge performance and my one is just 115bhp.....sticking 170bhp and rear wheel drive should make it a excellent car

    The eGolf issue is performance over 80km is restricted, that’s why it’s a perfect city car

    Even my wife was in last night, she is not a car person, just came out and said you forget how much fun it is driving the eGolf around town

    What you mean? You do the reservation online, you just pick which dealer you want to use

    The dealers I don’t think know yet how many people have picked them

    Refundable up untill order. If you place the order then you get your reservation fee back and you have ordered the car. The reservation fee does not go against the deposit of the car


    That was my reading? could be wrong?

    Isn't this the car that VW said would have its own network of chargers?

    If so, when are they being installed countrywide?

    One up and running, one been built, we have more than the UK running....YES :-)


    They have signed up with Tesco UK, 600 stores to get chargers. I wonder would Ireland fall into this? I must ask

    The charging bays will be based in Tesco Extra and Superstore car parks throughout the United Kingdom, and will be installed by the UK’s largest independent public charging network operator, Pod Point. Customers will be able to charge their electric cars using a standard 7kW fast charger for free, or benefit from the use of a rapid 50 kW charger for a small cost in line with the market rate.

    Really? So each Tesco's will have both AC and DC chargers? Multiple slots each? Good strategy for sure, VW have been pushing German federal government to actually mandate big supermarkets to install chargers.

    So this is good news for the UK, but I think it will either not happen in Ireland or will be paddy specs, scaled down crappy version of it.

    Most of the tesco stores in Dublin have slow chargers installed now as far as I am aware.....


    This is a joint venture by Teso/VW and Pod Point....so we would need the same companies to do it in Ireland....

    Oh yeah, not exactly. They are doing at 600 stores...


    Tesco had over 3700 in 2017.....so not every store


    I would guess the huge supermarket with multiple spots will get them. The small mini markets etc wouldnt have the spot to give over to chargers

    16% that's fair enough and in line with what vw is pushing in Germany I'd say, don't think they ask for corner shops installing chargers, would be for bigger stores with plenty of parking.

    Don't know what the supermarkets are like further south, but most big supermarkets and decent sized stores up here in the north, such as Spar, Centra etc, have LOADS of disabled spots. I think we must have a vast amount of lame people in the NW.

    I know Derry used to have a figure of 11% receiving DLA, or Disability Living Allowance. Over 1 in 10 needed help getting around!

    And if the EV charging spots are anything like the disabled spots up here, they will be permanently occupied by ICE cars, driven by able bodies ignorant folk.

    The mid range one gets me to mizen or malin head and most of the way home so hopefully won't really need a public charger unless I'm going to either.
