The Tesla Model-S is almost quadruple the price of it for less than twice the power output.

Porsche are about to blow it out of the water by the looks.

@cluaindiuic

AFAIK, you can’t charge employees for electricity

I suspect that you can for this in the guise of a maintenance charge or something

@Big_Dan_Campbell

There is some EU regulations coming in shortly about businesses having to have something like 10% of their car parking spaces available for electric car charging.

its a directive, so itll be interesting to see how they manage to neuter it here.

[cluaindiuic]

Yeah they suggested a parking charge in here. It quickly died a death.

[flattythehurdler]

It’s 80 a month to park in wan place I work

[anon78624367]

aren’t all car parking spaces provided by companies taxed?

It used be a benefit in kind didn’t it?

[anon61878697]

I’d love to know how much hospitals are making on car parking - the cunts.

[anon78624367]

the car parking in the maternity in Cork is a fucking scandal

[carryharry]

Generally yes but if you have a partner in expecting they usually give you a week car park ticket at €25 if you ask.

Otherwise yes, you get fucking fleeced.

[anon61878697]

Yeah I availed of that - but they dont exactly highlight it either… Dutch chap I wok with nearly lost his life when I told him hospitals here charge for parking… He wanted to kill me like it was me who introduced it.

[carryharry]

Without availing if it, god knows how much I’d have been down.

Between 2 arrivals here, it took I reckon 10 whole days from entry to taking them home.
What they do with this money or where it goes is an interesting question as very rarely are these car parks not at full capacity in any hospital I have ever visited.

[anon61878697]

That’s the thing … I wouldnt mind a standard 2euro entry fee - but these things are hourly and always full.

[anon78624367]

one of the cleaners told me about that but it was near enough due date.

What I’d do is drop herself to the door and then fuck off over to the shopping centre and buy something and park there.

Friend of a friend was killed in a Tesla crash. Fire brigade could not go near the car for 45 minutes due to the heat from the electrical fire.

This is a beauty from VW

Your refusal to pay for anything sort of did.

[anon61878697]

I’ve never refused nothing.

[Julio_Geordio]

Should have called it the Volkswagon Hipster altogether and be done with it

[myboyblue]

Fuck eirgrid

@Julio_Geordio

two people in a small estate had purchased electric cars and were charging them overnight so they had to run a new line into the estate from the main line as they had fried the normal wiring.

I’d say the ESB fella is talking shite there to be honest with you

[Tassotti]

this is the same lad who reckons there was no bottled water in Ireand in 1999
