Nissan Leaf - Galway to Waterford

Hi! I just popped the details which you provided into ABRP and it came up with three proposed routes.

I set the min arrival charge level to 15%, battery degradation to 20% and departure charge to 100%. You can play around with those values as needed.

Other than on the motorway if you keep the average speed to 80 kmph it seems quite doable in the Summer months!

For navigation such as this, I input each charging point into Google Maps and use that to navigate to each individually. With a journey like what you are describing for I'd also check before departing on the next leg whether the next charger is online and operational before setting off, otherwise I can modify the route to an alternate charger. I use the ESB / EasyGo apps for that, but PlugShare is also good to check the status of each.

I know it's a bit of work, but it's a challenge!

there are non right now but its going back in .

Hi everyone, we have been advised that during the course of the installation of a new 100kW charger in Waterford, a previously unknown type fault was identified which resulted in the removal of the charger.

The charger was replaced with a CCS/CCS device for a period while the fault is repaired, after which, the CCS/CHAdeMO unit will be returned to service. We will be commissioning a new high-powered charging hub at Slieverue less than 6 km from Waterford next week which will have both CCS and CHAdeMO available at this location.

We will issue a further update on the unit in Bolton St when available and wish to apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Best regards,

Anna

Also beware that the new chademo/ccs at slieverue outside waterford city is in a petrol station which is not 24hr, they lock the gates at closing time so check before you go there to charge that theyre actually open.

This location - yes it's Co Kilkenny but actually close to Waterford City.

That's not true anymore.

The barriers are gone. its 24 hour.

I think you can park outside Nissan barlos wall and pull the cable over it.

The images in Plugshare indicate that you pay at reception:

Correct, but it's a courtesy charger and not a commercial one, so it's limited in terms of it's use.

There is an EasyGo Rapid Charger in a Lidl in Kilkenny with a chademo - Its the one on the Waterford side of Kilkenny. (When I charged there a few months ago, one of the apps guided me to the wrong Lidl (the one near to Barlo 🙄)
