Cheap Tesla cars for sale?

[John m]

Eamo has no more Money in his budget so just diverting the car grants into subsidizing chargers and wages for his bikeriding sherriff to protect him as he peddles his Green agenda around town .

A guy down the road  from me Orchard  -- bought one 6 months ago…Loves it so much that he is working longer hours?

 .......wait till he's living in it!!

The man who knows a man says Eammo the Onion is looking at changing the policy .He says that the uptake of EVs is being impaired by the lack of charging points and the 5K grant does not play any real role in increasing the amount of EVs on the road .Eamo wants to redirect the grant money to Recharging supply and not car purchase .With Tesla reducing the price of their EVs Eamo recons others will have to reduce their costs and with Petrol and Diesel prices going up and Electricity due to come down as we build more Windmills .The cost of running an EV will drive sales without the Grants .if you get the full 20K grant for a new taxi ,it might be the last occasion such generous grants are available ,if you are interested in an EV give it serious consideration .According to the man who knows a man lack of charging is the big issue now when it comes to driving EV sales so Eamo wants to invest his budget in chargers not cars as he has no extra cash from the exchequer .

There is another issue .The USA are paying anty Inflation grants to AMERICAN made EVs .This is anti comparative as it benefits US made cars and victimizes other nations who sell into the USA .So EU countries paying EV grants could look like EU support for European made cars as most EVs sold in Europe are made in Europe we buy very few US made Evs .

It's all a bit of a farce. They should have been doing this 5 years ago. Unless you own your own house with a driveway, you're reliant on external chargers.

There's currently 70k EV's in Ireland with another 25k planned for next year. And they want a million in 7 years. There's currently 1,500 external chargers in the entire country. Experts say there should be 4,500 right now.

Do the math as they say 

The local authorities, ESB Networks and public liability insurance will be huge roadblocks...

The myth around low running costs of EVs will be shattered if any of the main components fail.Fuel at the pump is relatively cheap and leccy prices are still too high.Even at home.

Anyone going on about maintence costs being lower on EVs are all driving newish cars.Most people in normal new vehicles only need an oil change a year.Hardly gonna be huge savings there.

By the way John the Irish Teslas aren't bult in USA anymore.All from China and Germany factories.

[Rat Catcher]

A man who knows a man said .The Grants for EV purchases are set to be cut or done away with with only a scrappage allowance as the EU have a problem with the USA paying EV grants for USA made cars only as it is anti comparative .The man who knows a man says the grant money will be diverted into on street chargers .

Proper order. Them poxy greens can shove their millions of euros up the poxy saddles.

Big Dommo use to be a Lock Hard Man and help people find parking around Cinemas and theatres back in the day .He was saying he might become a plug hard man .His idea is if you park your battery motor in Fairyhouse of Leopardstown he will plug it in for you and park it back in a non charging bay fully charged .Ideal job for homeless or casual junkies to graft .He could probably get a grant for it .

That's a pretty good idea!  I could see myself paying for that if I ever socialising an hour or two outside of Dublin.

But... most of these places have a few slow chargers and it's on a first come, first served basis so he'd maybe have to buy a mobile battery van/gadget and do the charging himself.  Could set himself up in multi-storey carparks during the week, beside those carwash places that'll wash your car while you're away shopping.

I was thinking of installing an EV charger in my three-car garden. I'm right beside Beaumont hospital, plenty of Doctors could drive from Blackrock to Kilmore, plug in my gaff and use their E-scooter to travel the one kilometre to the hospital!
I would be the envy of all my Coolockian neighbours with a Jaguar I-pace, a Ranger Rover, and a Mercedes EQE in the garden.

Eamon Ruin will have to look in to this. Might text him later, to see if he is awake?

Staying on topic, most houses around Dublin have at least two cars, and three to four with young Irish adults not willing to leave the nest. Where will all the charging points and power come from?
