Standard charging for members will rise from 23c/kWh to 35c, an increase of 52%.
Members using fast charges will see prices jump from 26.8c/kWh to 41c, a 53% rise.
While the membership rate for high power charging is to increase from 33c/kWh to 44c or 33%.
Ok, go back and correct your initial post now
I’d imagine considering the price of Diesel & Petrol currently it’s probably still cheaper?
its way cheaper
to fill up (approx 220km) is about 3 euros at the moment, id say the vast majority of EV users charge at home though so the price isnt going up
That’s public charging. Youll get 7 or 8 cent on night rates for home charging. Average 15 to 20 kwh per 100km, so about €1.50 per 100km.
You’d be about 5 to 6l per 100km, so about €10 per 100km.
You can argue both those figures a bit and different consumption rates and effectiveness etc, but you get the general point.
My current work vehicle is guzzling fuel.
Now, I’ve adjusted my driving style and I’ve maybe added another 90km to the tank in doing so. It’s surprising the change in speed or actually obeying every limit makes a nice difference to economy.
Still, filling the cunt is gut wrenching.
You’re hardly paying for it yourself or what kind of outfit are you with?
I’m always watching the pennies….
Makes a huge difference. The Berlingo is a blessing on this front anyway. Does great mpg anyway but have noticed much longer gaps between refills.
Agreed
It’s also needed to reduce queues at public charging points. The network relied on them for too long for short urban journeys. Public charging should really only be used for long distance trips and therefore be a rare expense.
Yes, what we need now is these charging points to be rolled out in apartments and estates where people dont have driveways but the people charging at their local train station rather than at home isnt great
the vitriol Ryan gets is off the charts these days, if people spent as much time fighting carbon as they do the carbon tax increase (approx 1.50per month) Oireland would be a lot better

I’m not sure its vitriol, but if he was from outside the pale you’d be calling him an awful simpleton. He just doesnt inspire confidence at all and has some of the worst soundbites of any minister.
@Raylan 01/02/2022 “the work you are doing to re-wild Enistymon in my beloved Clare is amazing, i respect you sooooooo much”
@raylan 06/04/2022 “Brought to you by Qantas TSG”
there is a reverse snobbery there though & any suggestion even is it is logical is attacked
Community Cars, Drive Slower, Introduce Wolves etc, he improves transport in Maynooth, people from Kerry attack him
the absolute anger about a 1.50 per month rise in carbon tax is crazy or him being blamed for the rise in petrol costs
The Hometree HQ site is 16.5 acres of land between Ennistymon and Lahinch, Co. Clare. It is already quite a diverse site, with thick mature hedgerows, a wildflower meadow, a rocky crag and a small wetland area. Parts of the site are elevated giving views over the mouth of the Inagh River and over Lahinch and Ennistymon.
While the surrounding land is mostly agricultural, the local townlands are Deerpark and Ardnacullia (or ‘Ard na Coille’ in Irish, which means ‘Height of the Woods’). These names give the indication that, as much of the Irish landscape, this area was once wooded.
Before this land came under the stewardship of Hometree, it was used for the grazing of horses and donkeys. This low-intensity use allowed some natural regeneration to already take place. The soils are shallow peat and mineral soils, laying over shale bedrock. This shale is exposed onsite, in an old quarry.
Description:
Access to the site is through a small green road or bothairín which is lined on both sides by stone walls and bramble.
Within the site, there are several hawthorn and willow hedgerows. Individual ash and wild cherry trees are also present. Many of the hedgerows follow old dry stone walls. These walls and hedgerows were used to serve the purpose of marking out individual fields. Now, they provide us with the starting points, both for planting and natural regeneration.
In the northern half of the site rises a sharp hillock or mound. The exposed ground on top is covered by a wildflower meadow. Here, there are already many species of flower associated with low-intensity agriculture. Depending on the season one might spot the yellows of buttercup, dandelions and birdsfoot trefoil the whites and creams of yarrow and ripwort plantain, the pinks of red clover and foxgloves or the beautiful blues of devils bit scabious and the occasional bluebell in spring. With the correct management, the species diversity here will expand and slower growing and perennial wildflowers will be welcomed to the area.
Beneath this mound is a section of exposed rock. This is an old quarry that would have been used by local people as a source of shale for building. Now it provides excellent shelter for a host of plants and animals including some naturally regenerating ash and hawthorn.
This site has an old history of being a meeting point for people. There is a mass rock, that once served as a discreet marker of where local people could gather during the penal times of the 17th and 18th centuries to celebrate Catholic mass.
The abandoned farm outbuildings associated with the sites previous use have been dismantled and have been replaced by an education centre and small office.
“Re-wilding” scraggy farmland so urban types can salve their conscience when they’re clocking up the air miles? Eamon Ryan has truly worked wonders here, I take it all back
Christ above. How much are paying them not to use a rocky field?
@KinvarasPassion are you paying attention
My sister now lives across from this project. She said they called to all the neighbouring houses to explain what they are doing.
