It's only gonna be a tenner a week extra for most Prius pilots.Fuel prices would have to double before I'd change over early to electric.
-
Nearly every day i pass the same petteril stations and it seems to be a cent or two more expensive every day.....also don't forget that electricity prices are on the rise also,some suppliers will be on their third increase this year alone so leccy car drivers are also paying higher fuel prices.
On a similar note....to you leccy car drivers,can you claim for a certain amount of electricity from your household bill as part of your purchases as you would do with your petrol or diesel costs.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it'll be like your mobile phone or broadband connection. Revenue will assume X% is private use and Y% is taxi-related? One for the accountants, methinks!

Or like the work from home folks that can claim 30% for broadband,not too sure what percentage can be claimed for leccy and gas but overall it's a miserly amount,
The War Office is working from home since March 2020 but the weekly cost saving on petrol on her thirsty 07 1.4 Focus which is about €70 per week outweighs the hassle of claiming said miserly amount of said household bills.

I would imagine you'd see a biggish jump in your two month normal elec bill for charging your motor on it and you'd be able to separate the extra charge you're incurring which should be tax deductible as your diesel/petrol is?

A guy down the road from me uses a home charger.Says its the only way to get a fair price?

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis....i don't know though!!
-
are the charging points you do see in some towns free to use.
-
Way Cheaper to charge at home
-
Don't think there are many free chargers left.They're deliberately expensive so you don't hog them.
-
Take an ID4.
It takes 84 kWh to charge at home,at a day/night meter cost of approx €7.
For that 7 euro you get a range of near enough 500 km.
If you bought 4.5 litres of fossil juice with the 7 euro you'd get maybe 60 km.
If you are doing 1000 km a week,the saving is about 90 euro a week.

Is that €7 per day every day, i.e €49 per week?

No that's €7 for 500 km.

Under €14 a week for me so. Cheers.

Dino juice.....the future!! lol

@vandriver, id save that 90 per week because that ev will have an expensive repair when its out of its guarantee. There is no long term tests for evs as sale rep cars or taxis or commercial use. Do ye ever wonder why Toyota hasn't full battery evs, its because they play the long game, they see what works long term like they did with the hybrid, they see hydrogen as the end game like the Miri fuel cell and the hydrogen combustion engine like JCB are introducing in 2029 for all there heavy plant. I've been saying it for a long time stay away from full evs for commercial use. Toyota might be forced to go ev for a few years but they will go away from it unless they can crack the solid state battery problem.
-
A new leaf battery is about 7k.
If the battery lasts 5 years ,you're still 15 grand up and essentially have a new car after 5 years.
After 10 years,you're 37k up and just scrap the ev.
You also save 10 years worth of clutches,egr valves,dmf's injectors and all the other shite you have to put up with in a diesel car
-
I've the same clutch,gearbox,engine,egr valve cleaned twice and reinstalled, dpf cleaned twice, fuel injectors serviced every 100k cleaned and new copper seals. 456,000 kms. I'll stick with diesel.
-
If 37k saved on fuel,and thousands more saved on maintenance with a superior driving experience doesn't convince you,then nothing will..(except Freenow fucking you out in a few years

Not being smart here but, there aren't that many C5's operating as taxis. I'd guess you're the only one we know. There has to be a reason.
In the meantime keep your yoke running to the end.

Good old dirty diesel.
Ev wheelies are astronomically expensive (the merc one is near 100k)

Imagine investing 100k in the taxi business,,,Botox!!,,,Anything over 10k is a risk!

We had a competition about the price of diesel on here last May 2020, Bob Schilling won it, IT WAS 115.5 !!
Averaging 160 down here at the moment !!
To be fair, John M did predict the rise.

@silverbullet, there is a few of them around but most people have a sheepish mentality and buy the cars they see most others drive. The rumours of French car unreliability are for the history books. Most electrical issues were just a bad ground that has rust on it, it was mostly with Renault where you would see the indicator on and when you press the brake all the lights at the back would flash. I think they changed the position of ground wires because I haven't seen them do that in years, but I saw a Toyota landcruser a couple of weeks ago with the hazards on all lights flashing. I've had 2 of them 2003/2011 the 1st one has nearly 800,000 miles still driving it, the taxi one has 300,000 miles.

To be fair, John M did predict the rise.
He did.....three fukin years ago....it wasn't about to go down to be fair.....he said petteril would be €2 per litre by the Christmas of that year.....it wasn't.....he was bound to be close in some future year!!

For the Conspiracy theorists or Educated among you .Funny how the shit hits the fan when Frau Merkel is finished in Politics ! Think of where she came from EAST Germany where she studied Physics .So in a Communist male driven country she managed to get a University Education .Her family must of had good connections to the Communist Party .Was she a Cocoo for the Soviets Under her Guidance Germany have given up Nuclear Power as a means of generating electricity and started to suck on the Russian Gas Nipple through Nordstream 2 .Since that pipeline opened the Russians have turned down the pressure on Nordstream 1 which serves the rest of Europe and passes through Ukraine .That is why Gas prices have risen ESB will rise .Expect powercuts this winter .Wont be long before my prediction of British Troops on the streets of Britain shooting British people comes to truth .Told you all before GET A GUN .https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/online-services/firearms-licensing/fca1-firearm-certificate-application-2020.pdf (https://www.garda.ie/en/about-us/online-services/firearms-licensing/fca1-firearm-certificate-application-2020.pdf) .Wait till the truth comes out .That the Irish government have signed contracts to supply cheap GUARENTEED electricity at a fixed price to Data Centers .They will cut off peoples homes so Amazon,Facebook and Google can be guarenteed power .Oh back on topic Mr Boola bread will go up .Unlike a fella with a can of Diesel in the Shed how will Electric Eddy recharge his Bionic Taxi if the Power is cut off at regular intervals .Big Dommo is learning Russian and his new bird is learning Mandrin .Just looking as the well paid jobs .How many British Players got a game yesterday in the Premiership .How many teams owned by Brits .Now look at Ireland .How many of the top companies are Irish .
