Transporting vs driving leaf to ireland

proponent · 2016-08-01 20:51:25

Hi all, Popped a deposit on leaf today in UK.. Delighted and can't wait to get it.. Only challenge now is getting it back to Dublin.. Just thinking aboit the 390 miles I need to cover to get to Holyhead. Looking at realistically getting max 80 miles on each rapid charge(would that be right?). It's not likely I can do this…

Irish Leafs are locked to proper metric units.
There is no facility to change the dashboard units unlike the UK Leaf.

yes its a legal thing, you cannot switch to the dash to Mph as miles are not recognised as a legal indication of speed/distance in ROI

Don't know about that. Those of us under 35-40 would tend to be more comfortable with the metric units.

I just wish the Brits would just stop being so bone-headed and switch their signs/limits over to sensible units.

Yes, but it gives you the option. I find it useful when comparing stats on one of the UK ev forums.

it is technically illegal as I said , to have a primary speed displaying MPH without kmh being displayed on that same speedo
