New-ish MG5s going cheap

[Octavia1]

You'll end up back on the nights...

Actually my last total  bimonthly bill was 210 but 64 of that was the car.I think my peak rate is a bit dearer between 5 and 7 pm.Maybe 34 cent per kw or something.

I just realized you said monthly.Deffo worth getting. A better deal.They usually offer you sign up credit too.

€64 for 2 months ??   I tink the " diesel" is better debate is finally put to bed .... in fact it's in a bleedin coffin

I have a clever meter .That looks Ok I have Electric Ireland no deal .I get Emma on to that as soon as my next bill comes in and I clear it .

Check out bonkers.ie for price comparisons on electricity and/or gas if you have it.

And https://www.boards.ie/categories/electric-vehicles-hybrids
You might have to scroll for a page or two but there's bound to be someone who's already asked about cheap charging prices.

Don't know if that's jaysus good or jaysus bad...but when ye factor in 40kms up and 40kms back home again....I work my way up...motorway home...but that's 400kms per week that you'll never see!!

@octi but in reality with no grants the money your saving on fuel should be put aside for a new fuel tank aka a battery. In the long run diesel, petrol and hybrid powered vehicles beat full EVs that are subsidised by 20,000 euro, when grants are gone in the next few years the full financial horror will be on show.

Me Crystal Ball says the 20 k grant is finished over .Eamo will be gone so will that grant .In fact the 5k grant might go .Why would the EU impose a tax on EVs then give a grant .If you want the 20K take it now .

Love it ,nice to drive Wouldnt rely on the milage available .Big difference between Motorway and urban milage but that dosent really bother me I dont do much country work .But for 15K its the best motor I ever bought.

[Jack Meoff]

Nice one.
Did you get any discount from the motor dealer when paying cash ?

Agree with ye on motorway mileage but similar to yourself I rarely do what would be regarded as country work...would rather potter around the city tbh...but great to hear you're enjoying it.

I'm the same. So far, my ideas of a country run have been Ratoath from The Killer and Bohernabreena from Dundrum.
I don't even like the M50 FFS!

RE motorway driving... sticking to 100 km/hr makes a big difference over 120 km/hr.  Brings the fuel consumption more back to normal.
