@@RSEV The food and hospitality are fantastic. We rented some e-bikes and cycled round some quiet roads around the ring of Kerry, it was incredible. So different seeing it from a saddle and not behind glass. Highly recomemded.
As an Irishman living abroad since 2008, and full EV since 2018, it was beautiful to see the great shots of Ireland and hear how well the country has progressed on the EV front. Thanks for this.
@@drxym I wish to go to Ireland someday and I open Zap-Map regularly to check the charging layout. I have a ChadeMo connection in my 24kwh 2015 Nissan Leaf and I can see there are adequate charging locations even for my outdated, small battery car. I'd bet there's few places in Ireland I can't get to.
Zapmap isn’t widely used in Ireland as the data is patchy and incomplete. Charging infrastructure in Ireland is generally good. PlugShare gives a better overview of the actual infrastructure.
We toured Southern Ireland for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. Highlights for me were, Seeing Father Teds House Walking on the Cliffs of Moher and the Ferry to see the cliffs from the sea. The drive to the ferry was outstanding too. Cong where The Quiet man starring John Wayne and Maureen O Hara was made. The Ring of Kerry Inch Beach Kinsale Very pretty and has one of the best Fish and Chip shops anywhere. Duncannon - we stayed in a lovely B&B overlooking the beach and the pub grub is amazing. Westport. Waterville where Charlie Chapman had a holiday home Dingle is nice but a bit too touristy Bottom line is if you want a driving holiday then Ireland is an amazing place to come to.
I spotted your white Tesla on the road just outside Galway where I live - UK plates with RSEV on the side - only now realised it was you. Glad you had a great time touring Ireland.
4:37 The Tesla idle fees in Ireland are 0,5 euro/min, double that if all chargers are occupied. Those 3 cars will have a hefty bill due, when they return.
Thanks for the video Richard. Just watching from Lacarno Switzerland. Arrived here today via Staffordshire, Le Touquet, Disney Paris, Montuex to Lacarno in our MYLR. It's so easy and made Road tripping fun again. After a week chilling in Lacarno we're heading to Colmar, Spa, Bruge then back home. You can't beat a good road trip.
I drove to, around and fro Ireland in a Kia eNiro for over 3 weeks. Had full wall charged to 300 miles, 1174 miles charged on the go, costing £200. In comparison petrol would have cost £60 extra and only £48 charging at home. No problems charging, few delays of course. Most charging stations had self service laundry and restaurants attached, so eat and get your clothes washed at the same time. Went from High Wycombe, Rosslare, Waterford, Cork, Tipperrary, Galway, Dublin, Wexford, Rosslare and back. Bear in mind we were on holidays and our car only charged at 70 kWh, love a car that charged around 200, that should make it quicker.
Your route here is similar to my first Irish road trip in June 2023 with a 60kWh Nissan LEAF, except I started from Holyhead-Dublin (with charging actually on the Irish Ferries Ulysses) then it was Dublin-Waterford-Cork-Kinsale-Limerick-Galway-Dublin. I was doing 200 miles a day and, as I’d ordered an ESB RFID card in advance, I had no trouble finding chargers at the end of each day. This June I did the other half: Dublin-Belfast-Coleraine-Derry-Donegal-Sligo-Galway-Dublin and similarly had no problems. In fact this year two new networks had sprung up everywhere (EasyGo and WeEV for which an app was sufficient. These opened a lot of destination chargers for me, including a hotel in Galway and the visitor car park at the Titanic Experience). Overall, I’ve found on both occasions that both the Republic and NI are well provided for, given a population similar to NW England. Everything worked
Welcome to Ireland and navigating the Conor Pass! Where you stopped at the 9 minute mark, I hope you got out and climbed up the Peddlers lake as it is a stunning sight. Any I hoped you enjoyed Kerry anyway.
i am a Tesla driver in cork ,Ireland , the EV infrastructure is way behind the rest of Europe , they wonder why sales of EV's are down 25% year on year - glad you enjoyed yer trip
Great video and good to see you enjoyed it. I agree that we need more destination chargers around the country. Definitely a chicken or egg situation but it will happen. You were in Ireland the same time I'm in Bristol/Bath testing out Genesis.
Brilliant timing. I live in Surrey and drive to my family home in Dingle, Kerry every year which is where I’m at for the month of August. Usually do the Pembroke-Rosslare route too. This is my last year in my family car - an SQ5. The big question for me is how would an EV manage with the long drive to Dingle which my SQ5 comfortably does in less than one tank of diesel. Having test ridden a MYP and a M3P I’ve decided to replace my family car and own car with both of these, being been particularly tempted by the current 0% finance offer, and also having recently installed solar at home. Thanks for all the great videos you do and glad you enjoyed your trip to Ireland.
Hey Richard, I must say I did a double-take seeing you pop up in Waterford. You seem to have enjoyed our city, which is great, and taking the coast road towards Cork was a very good move since there’s some stunning scenery there, a good taster before heading west, which is truly God’s country. Next time try and stop in Galway city. Yes it’s extremely congested but it’s unmissable IMO. If only I’d spotted you down by the EasyGO chargers I’d have offered you a pint, but maybe next time!
You get free supercharging but it would be useful for future such road trips to remind us of the cost per kWh at each location just to get a feel for the variations if there are any. Thanks Spotted your quick run through at the end but good to see as you go….
Teala are going through a decent Supercharger expansion in Australia. They have been installing sets of 3 in more remote areas. Certainly a good way to get the network rolled out. Lots of new 6 to 12 charger locations as well. Does look like Ireland needs a few more as well though.
2011 Audi S3 is 24p a mile on V-Power so £375 😉 Superb video and Ireland looks amazing. We still haven't been and that's mad. Thx for sharing the incredible views and taking time to film, edit, and all of that. Really appreciate it 👍🏻
I did a trip around the northern half of Ireland, Belfast, Dublin, cliffs of mohar, Galway, cong, Derry and north coast, 1100 miles in an ev6. I used ionity, esb, hotel and bp no problem at all and worked out about the same pro-rata as Richard’s calculation . Off the motorways with the 120km limit it’s slow roads so a charge could last a few days. In all a great trip and no issue for an electric car.
After living with a Model 3 2021 LR for 3 years now, range anxiety just isn't a thing. I've done many trips from the north of the UK to southern France and never had any issues. I need to stop long before the car does, and by the time I've got out and stretched my legs/used the services, the car already has plenty of a top up, even if I don't need it. Hopefully picking up a 2024 Model 3 Performance next week, all going well (took advantage of the 0% finance offer). Looking forward to it! I also had that really weird GPS thing on the ferry this year on the way back from France. It took my 21'LR around 30-45 minutes to 'find' the GPS again. What was really weird is it was tracking the car just fine (as in the arrow was moving around with the car on the map) just the map position still said I was in France. Super weird, and even a head unit reboot didn't fix it, just had to wait. Not great. First time its done it in the 3-4 times I went over, meaning 6-8 'exits' from the ferry and it only happened on the last one. But still weird.
Great video Richard. We had the same issue with the satnav not finding its location when we got off a ferry at Poole. Took till Winchester to find its location. Best regards Martin
@@alandoolan1892 Noticed that! No offence to UK visitors but they often get a few wrong. I think Richard only stumbled once over “Killurney”, so well done, he can come back! 🇮🇪 🇬🇧
@@fricatus bigtime, from outside "Killurney" myself !! Drive a Kia Soul ourselves, we knew about the Tesla charging at Raheen Woods Athenry near Galway but hadn't realised that Ballingarry Hotel near Tralee had some installed !
I have the same trouble with sat nav loosing its way every time we take the ferry to Ireland in my model 3. Seems to be a bug that they reintroduce every 3 or 4 software updates. Works fine one trip 3 months later not working. All every random. Even when on an open car desk when satellites are in sight. Great video as always
Contrary to their claim on the units, I feel like they’re our worst charging network. Handy when they’re your only option in remote spots but otherwise I tend to avoid them.
Looks like we swapped locations last week. Live in Kilcock (just up the road from Johnstown House where you topped up before getting to Dublin) but was down your way in Corfe Castle visiting the parent’s grave. Ireland is a joy compared to the UK traffic-wise and charging infrastructure is perfectly adequate now
Hi Richard, loving the Tesla I bought from you. Not done any big trips yet, have a holiday in Devon booked, but I have scared the life out of a couple of friends with a 0 - 60 burst!!
Nice trip and video Richard but soooo many "juice" stops. My 7 seater with a full tank does 650 miles, and with 3 kids all those charging stops...it's deffo not for everybody...the dog mode is an amazing feature though ..
I work in West Wales a fair bit and it can be a bit naff for connectivity, even more so if you’ve come from the sea in a floating metal box. The car probably had absolutely no idea where it was and no signal to get it back on track.
Great video, as usual. At 19:38 GPS navigation software blip? Is this a concern when moving between countries? Did the reset solve the issue? Surprised pubs in Ireland are not dog-friendly! 🐶 Fortunately, Teslas are dog-friendly.
Great video!! I’ve heard recently from Tesla Service Ranger that Tesla have actually applied for about 30 supercharger site locations (or individual superchargers) around Ireland but have only been granted permission for about 6 locations so far by county councils etc. Pretty annoying but hopefully it will soon be changed to allow for more Supercharger locations! 🤞
@@DrearyCash I hope so… none between Rosslare and Cork or Waterford and Dublin. Was in France lately and there were loads on the way between Cherbourg and southern Brittany.
Love to see this, since I also live in Bournemouth and will make the trip to Gorey (Wexford) twice a year. Looking to buy a 2022 model 3 soon, might end up buying from you if you have some in stock ;)
In Scotland it's charger anxiety I have. Getting to a charger to find it not working, and when there are so few in places it is a challenge. The slower charger are sprinkled bout 7kw-22kw, but finding high speed DC away from city is a struggle. I've driven in the states and its night/day due to Tesla network which works and charges fast. Wish UK would get itself sorted, and also stop ridiculous charging rates that some councils put in place. Luckily I can cheap charge at home but many people don't have that option.
I was in Ireland in April in my Model Y, had exactly the same map issue as you on my return. Got the ferry from Dublin to Cherbourg and on arrival in France map didn’t update for around an hour, even though all other premium subscription stuff was working, very odd
Good video. Great country. You spent a lot of time on you trip in chargers and no doubts a lot of time looking for them also along with some time downloading various apps. Even a fast charger takes at least 30mins, when you manage to find one right? That seems like torture to me
We're off to visit family in Ireland next week....Dublin to Castlebar to Waterford back to Dublin. I took a quick look at Watts Up and decided to leave my iX3 at home and take the wife's petrol Corsa instead 😂
Tourism Ireland should pay you for that video! Shame our weather didn't treat you a bit better, but hope you enjoyed this wonderful little country. We desperately need more chargers though, especially in the west, and as you rightly say more destination chargers. Sadly Ireland isn't very dog friendly as you mention. We will always bring our dog with us when we can, so we do have to check ahead as to which places take dogs.
My 2015 Nissan Leaf uses ChadeMo Rapid Charging (50kw) and Zap-Map shows plenty of chargers even for my humble little 24kwh Leaf. And then you can add Type 1 and Type 2 chargers for even more coverage. So, for me, Ireland must have an adequate number of chargers if it can even cover a nine year-old Nissan Leaf.
Since the Model 3 has got to the point where they are ' affordable' , Here in the South West they are becoming more like 'Chav' vehicles ' Mis placed '4D plates etc and always in white, you get the idea . What's your thoughts with the Tesla image going forward ?
The ones with chav 4D plates will inevitably be the previous model. The Highland hasn’t been out for long enough and the Model Y Juniper is due in 2025. So those chavs will forever be playing catchup around 2 or so years behind at least. You get this with every manufacturer tbh.
Those roads down by the father ted house are a nightmare. I spent more time in the hedge than actually on the road to try and let cars past. Don’t think I’d of taken my £50k Tesla down them 😳
Hi, can you show the "damage" or lack there of a dog does the tedla back seats? I bought a niro because the boot is better for dogs and j was nervous of the build quality but wifey is getting a company car and tbh i think m3 is probably what id get and no ine has mentioned doggy damage. I know dog mode is good but saloons are not good dog cars and its always been a frustration people wteny m3s are good because dog mode - meh! Lazy
One thing Tesla doesn't do well is the roads it takes you. It'll bring you down the most awkward routes. Tiny 1 car roads. However you'll see stuff you'd never have seen otherwise. Next time you're coming over reach out. The owners club could meet up and shoot some film with you!

Had a test dive in the new model 3 what a car
Welcome to Ireland.
Home Carmarthen, Cork superchargers and then Easygo chargers down on the Dingle. No problems. Home via Cork and supercharger on M4.
This is our trip in September!
Great video
Good test for the auto-wipers

Have you thought about an NC 500 jaunt I’d love to see that it’d be top viewing👌
IIRC dog mode stops if the charge gets below 20%
Curious why you don’t use the Model Y dual motor for this type of trip.
My 2015 Nissan Leaf uses ChadeMo Rapid Charging (50kw) and Zap-Map shows plenty of chargers even for my humble little 24kwh Leaf. And then you can add Type 1 and Type 2 chargers for even more coverage. So, for me, Ireland must have an adequate number of chargers if it can even cover a nine year-old Nissan Leaf.
Curious why you don’t use the Model Y dual motor for this type of trip ?
No charging at the Travelodge? Not even 7kW destination chargers in their carpark?
Since the Model 3 has got to the point where they are ' affordable' , Here in the South West they are becoming more like 'Chav' vehicles ' Mis placed '4D plates etc and always in white, you get the idea . What's your thoughts with the Tesla image going forward ?
The ones with chav 4D plates will inevitably be the previous model. The Highland hasn’t been out for long enough and the Model Y Juniper is due in 2025. So those chavs will forever be playing catchup around 2 or so years behind at least. You get this with every manufacturer tbh.
According to the media, people don't buy 2nd evs due to the fear of the battery failing? Obviously not.
And no different to the average 4 year old Audi or Beemer! Plenty of them chavved up too
why does it even matter?
No charging available on the ferry?
The roads look really smooth unlike UK roads with rough tarmac
@@omernagi7 Not everywhere 😂 but good by and large. Certainly the motorways and N-roads (equivalent of British A-roads) are well maintained.
You should come up to county Donegal. The pubs and restaurants are dog friendly 🐶
Those roads down by the father ted house are a nightmare. I spent more time in the hedge than actually on the road to try and let cars past. Don’t think I’d of taken my £50k Tesla down them 😳
It's quite odd, driving right is wrong
If you love the green color then you have to love the rain as well
Did you remember to bring jars, so you have something for the Whisky?
You just experienced our summer......sorry about that.
Hi, can you show the "damage" or lack there of a dog does the tedla back seats? I bought a niro because the boot is better for dogs and j was nervous of the build quality but wifey is getting a company car and tbh i think m3 is probably what id get and no ine has mentioned doggy damage. I know dog mode is good but saloons are not good dog cars and its always been a frustration people wteny m3s are good because dog mode - meh! Lazy
Did the dog need a license or anything to go to Ireland ?
Not many superchargers, but plenty others in Ireland
Wales isn't England. I would have thought you knew that when you said you were leaving the shoes of England behind ?
One thing Tesla doesn't do well is the roads it takes you. It'll bring you down the most awkward routes. Tiny 1 car roads. However you'll see stuff you'd never have seen otherwise. Next time you're coming over reach out. The owners club could meet up and shoot some film with you!
You're skipping out the best bit which is West Cork😢
There are no Tesla chargers in Northern Ireland. There is just a Tesla dealership in Belfast. That's probably why U haven't visited the North.
@@arekfpv3631 There are superchargers in Belfast (I’ve used them)
@@fricatus Where? They are not on the Tesla mobile app. Thanks for the info.
@@arekfpv3631 Boucher Road, same site as the Tesla service centre.
Thx. You're right. I have found them on a ZapMap.
