Maybe try and cover something on battery degradation on used EV’s like the Aviloo test and other alternatives if they exist ? It seems to be a concern with both trade and private buyers.

Absolutely, we'll bring this in to the used EV and battery health talks

It's in collaboration with AXA so it will also be covered for sure

Buddy Bubs · 09-12-2023 8:13pm

Commercial vehicles. How could we begin to replace our 30+ diesel Renault Masters/Ford transits service vehicles that can do up to 60k KMs a year and not all of it scheduled. We've replaced all the staff and management cars with EVs but can't get our head around how we'd begin to do it with vans.

Our show is B2C. I was helping out at the EV Summit last month which is B2B and chaired the fleet transition stage. Will send you a DM.

Thanks I'll have a read

AMKC · 09-12-2023 8:39pm

How about explaining the advantages and disadvantages of all the different types of batteries in EVs and how best to charge them.

Nice. LFP, NMC etc and 80% or 100% and the reasons why.

ted1 · 09-12-2023 9:03pm

Maybe something with private charging in an apartment block.

that’s. A big issue, so someone from. SEAI, RTB, ZLEV ( or whatever the new government body is) explaining the guidelines and how to go about getting chargers installed in MUD…

also maybe a explanation on what NEVO is

we know you do reviews. But how do generate review? Do you offer a service or just revenue from reviews

derekreilly · 09-12-2023 9:43pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121476913#Comment_121476913

Thanks Ted1. Yes ZEVI and SEAI will be giving talks throughout the day regarding the apartment ev charger scheme.

Regarding Nevo, we have a couple of different parts.

Youtube Channel is 100% impartial Electric Vehicle Reviews. Starting to do some sponsored content like the EV charger series. I've yet to be paid to review or overview an EV so it has been my honest opinion since I started it back in 2020.

B2C website launched in Aug 2022 is a dedicated EV platform with an education section, comparison tool, and journey planner. We also connect buyers who want to test-drive EVs with dealerships. Revenue is via our partners and advertisers.

B2B Advisory service is helping organisations transition their fleet to electric, getting the data and understanding the current fleet, picking the right vehicles if business viable, driver education on how to drive EVs, how and where to charge a fleet along with energy generation and storage.

Yes exactly. Am I right in saying there are two types of Litium batteries one that you should not charge too much as every time you charge it is basically a cycle and shortens the amount of tines left to charge it so your better to let it go lower and fully charge it and another LFP I think it might be where you can charge at any stage and it makes no difference to its life cycle.

Gumbo · 10-12-2023 11:35pm

All batteries have a cycle count. Some are better than others. The LFP in teslas current RWD line up is one, BYD also, that don’t suffer from the cycle count as much, but, they are less dense and can’t give the performance as other variants. That may change in the future though. They also have worse cold weather performance, so there’s trade offs to both.

Oscar_Madison · 11-12-2023 1:44pm

The future of car servicing in Ireland- what new skills are required and what are the plans to get there to ensure people who buy either new or second hand EVs do so with comfort of knowing if something goes wrong that they can be fixed without fuss, similar to their current ICE cars.

In other words, might servicing EVs be problematic in the short term?

zg3409 · 11-12-2023 5:03pm

I think government subsidies and not only what is done today, but grants in the past, grant changes such as no more toll road discount and possible future changes. How is the government supporting public charger rollout or not, where would grant money best go, how much is funding today etc. There seems to be little government action on public charging in the past few years.

MakersMark · 11-12-2023 6:19pm

Will there be a Kia EV9 and a BYD seal there?

derekreilly · 11-12-2023 8:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121484021#Comment_121484021

Yes to both I believe. A list of the brands confirmed are on the site

derekreilly · 11-12-2023 8:39pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121483773#Comment_121483773

We have pencilled in at least 2 sessions on government updates from Zevi

Gumbo · 11-12-2023 8:52pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121484021#Comment_121484021

BYD Seal has been for sale for near on 3 months in the garages in Dublin. The first deliveries are due to customers in January.

€46k for RWD.

€52k for AWD.

So it will be just as easy to get to one of their showrooms and sit in one and actually drive their demo.

AMKC · 12-12-2023 7:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121484515#Comment_121484515

I do not see Renault there. Have they been asked?

derekreilly · 12-12-2023 9:16pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121488267#Comment_121488267

All manufacturers have been asked.

AMKC · 12-12-2023 9:20pm

Brilliant. That is great news. Hopefully they will have the Mègane E-Tech and the new Scenic there.

Amazing to sell out the 1st Nevo Electric Vehicle Show in partnership with Bank of Ireland with 20,000 registered to attend this Saturday!

Looking forward to an exciting and educational show with some exclusive Irish launches on the day.

Only heard about this show yesterday so was too late to register for ticket.

Would greatly appreciate if anyone has a ticket and can’t attend if it’s possible to transfer, Thanks.

There is only one type of Ticket the free one lol.

@Derek. Is it possible for someone to use a ticket booked by someone else to book a test drive?

The person who registered will have gotten an email to book a test drive. If they send it to you it should work. Let me know if you get it.

Hey Derek, I see BMW is going to have an appearance, no mention of MINI separately though? Just wondering if it’s included in the BMW brand? Would like to see the new ones up close

Patser · 15-02-2024 12:27pm

Looks like MG will have the Cyberster there. Regretting not being able to go now, would love to see it in flesh to get idea of how easy/awkward it is to get into with those scissor doors.

https://x.com/MG_Motor_IE/status/1755602536659296395?s=20

Edit: Have since found out from a dealer it'll be on static, view only display - no sitting in or close inspection

yer man! · 15-02-2024 3:13pm

Might be a stupid question, is there much parking in the area of the RDS? I imagine there’s feck all in the RDS itself.

AMKC · 15-02-2024 3:28pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121771627#Comment_121771627

Not a stupid question at all. Hopefully someone can give an answer as it has been a while since I have been there but from way back over a decade ago when I was there in a car not driving from what I remember there was lots of parking spaces but that could be all changed now.

Only if you are driving an EV, no emissions zone

Big car park in the Simmonscourt side, €10 a day. At Funderland they opened the main part for parking after the Simmonscourt carpark filled up. Street parking can be hard to get. For big events the rugby club and church open their carparks.
