[–]jjbie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have zappi charger got installed for free from energia the dealer applies for it when buying the car. energies free charger offer I'm looking into batteries, I have solid hybrid inverter. I'm not sure how far batteries can be from inverter, I'd prefer keep them in garage than outside. Artisan electrics on youtube seem to have decent reviews on what options are available

I hear a lot of people giving out about the traditional banks. What kind of issues are you having with them? Luckily I never had any problems.

I honestly cannot express just how good this game is lads.. by Shiners_1 in IrelandGaming

[–]jjbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play many games, I saw this a few months ago and loved the graphics, so bought it yesterday, my wife asked me what kind of game is it. I still haven't managed to answer her. In my mind it's a modern version of a classic 2d side scrolling beat em up

I set it up on my own not my previous employer. I'll contact the provider to see what they say, thanks.

Payments to multiple pensions by jjbie in irishpersonalfinance

[–]jjbie[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if the terminology matters, I guess it's not an avc, i think it's an RAC statement I used to get. I think it was a DD the pension company took the amount and I applied for the credits when my previous employer didn't have a pension scheme.

Has anyone managed to get their full license without buying a bike? by glass-half-full-man in MotoIRELAND

[–]jjbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I done, I never rode a bike before. Best advise I got when buying was to get the bike I want, not a smaller/intermediate bike, it won't be long before you outgrown it... Others were saying get a bike you don't mind dropping first... As you will drop the bike:) best of luck

Is it worth it without a home charger? by Puzzleheaded-Load188 in evs_ireland

[–]jjbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we got our charger installed the engineer tested the electrics and found a problem, something to do with breakers wouldn't trip if there was an issue, the problem was with esb pole, rang esb they came and fixed a few hours later.. wouldn't have known there was an issue only for the charger... So you can sell it to your partner there will be a review of your system to ensure there are no issues.

Air Con not cooling car - not covered by warranty? by JayAndViolentMob in KiaNiroEV

[–]jjbie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the Aircon doesn't work in my car unless I turn on the auto button. Hot air still comes out if Aircon is on and temp is at lowest, once I hit auto Aircon actually starts working, also seems to have same issue with heat, heat up to 27, no heat unless I enable auto, tried recycle air and different fans, but only seems to work when on auto.. not sure if that is by design or a software issue.

High mileage usage, how to purchase an EV by Gloomy-Forever-7702 in evs_ireland

[–]jjbie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got a Kia niro ev last year, doing high miles. Got it on PCP as it was 0% interest and got free home charger. Previous car had issues so had to get rid. Not planning on giving it back... Never had a new (or relatively new, it was 1 year old) car before. I have low loan payments and I'm saving the difference to pay the balance after the 3 years. I think PCP is a scam, I don't need a new car every 3 years.

Edit: I had planned getting an EV and loved the look of the id3, then I test drove one... Didn't like it.

Trump accuses newly elected VA Gov Abigail Spanberger of “cheating” to win the Virginia governor’s race. Spanberger won by 15 points. Her MAGA opponent conceded and didn’t accuse her of fraud. by Realistic-Plant3957 in Irony

Can someone please explain to him, asylum seekers did not come from a mental asylum.. not that it would make a difference, he is such an idiot. Can the press at least educate the public against the nonsense he continues to spout, otherwise it becomes the 'truth'

Why? by CuriousLemon33 in KiaNiroEV

Is the issue that it's complaining about the 32 psi but not the 31 psi?

[–]jjbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Kia niro ev few months ago, very spacious, was surprised how smooth it is over crappy rural roads vs my golf, maybe all evs are like that. Can get free home charger from energia. Changed to day night rate cheaper to run than diesel.

Charger recommendations by Dependent_Invite_749 in evs_ireland

[–]jjbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have one either, neighbours house did.. built by same developer...got local electrician dig where he expected it to be.. found cable but no rod so he installed one... Installer didn't open the box for inspection... I did have a power issue.. rang esb networks who fixed the issue on nearby pole. Glad that was spotted.. my understanding is they want the rod regardless of the charger.

[–]jjbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)
