It's not an offence to have an unsealed meter in a taxi unless it's plying for hire. Only a licensed driver can ply for hire.

The significant saving in fuel costs with EVs, and hopefully maintenance costs also, represent the only possible net increase in hourly profits in the last 20 years despite several fare reviews

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options

Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.

We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.

READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022

There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.

The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).

Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.


From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.

Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.

The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.

You're missing the point.
We pay for everything unlike bus and train drivers.
The days of cash jobs are gone, we're bringing the drag's of society home for minimum wage or less

To be fair, driving a bus or train requires considerably greater skill than driving a motor car. Hence drivers of such vehicles are required to pass examinations on a regular basis just to keep their licences.

There's still cash work in Dublin. My Free Now takings for the year to date is 49% cash, 51% account. Very little cash on Bolt, by comparison, though at just 6% cash since I joined on 26 Jan. If it's less traceable cash you're after the streets seem extremely busy after midnight - on Sunday mornings at least. My experience of the same would be mainly in Swords and Drogheda but I'd imagine the city would be at least as busy as would any large town with (official) late bars targeting the younger (at heart) clientele.

didje see the full video and not the sensationalised 10 second version of your man's death.
the other officers were pleading with your man that kneeled on his head to kneel on their own heads to put them owa their misery.
I've a good mind to paint a bit of semen dribbling out of his mouth!

Analysis: there will be over 100 electric vehicles available in Ireland next year so here's a look at the various options

Your electric car options have been multiplying for 2022. There will be over 100 vehicles on the market, ranging from battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEV) to hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV). We have visited the dealers and researched the various options so read on if you are looking to buy in 2022.

We have had some changes in government subsidies in the last year. All the prices quoted for battery electric cars include a government grant of €5,000 for any car costing less than €60,000. Vehicle registration tax (VRT) relief is additionally available on BEVs, but with limits kicking in at €40,000. A €600 grant is available towards the EV charger. VAT at 23 % is additionally part of the price of all new cars in Ireland. Unfortunately, the prices for the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles have gone up, as they no longer will benefit from any government grant from 1st January 2022.

READ: 10 things to know about buying an electric car in 2022

There are a lot of supply chain problems in the car industry right now with significant delays for many car companies due to Covid, parts shortages, and logistics so your showroom may have significant delays in getting you your new car in 2022.

The following alphabetical list is a starting reference for electric cars on the market in early 2022. The vehicle type is shown as coupe (c), crossover (x), estate (e), hatchback (h), liftback (l), saloon (s), people carrier (P) or SUV (V).

Please note that there may be some errors or omissions, and that there will be variations due to delivery charges. New vehicle launches are fast and furious in the electric vehicle world so check with your dealer as to prices, models, range and variations.


From RTÉ Radio 1's Brendan O'Connor Show, motoring journalist Geraldine Herbert on making the switch to electric.

Battery size is additionally provided for each vehicle. The presented value can be either the gross or available battery size. Gross battery size in kWh is likely more commonly presented here, but useable battery size in kWh is also presented in many cases. The useable battery size is less than the gross battery size. This is important as using less of the gross battery capacity extends the life of the battery. The car manufacturers can provide either or both numbers. For example, the first vehicle listed below, the Audi Q4 e-tron, has a gross battery size of 82 kWh while the available battery size is 76.6 kWh.

The standardized WLTP values are published in Ireland for range and mile per gallon (mpg), and so are used here, but we do note that there can be varying interpretations of the test values.
