ESB ecars launched their latest 8 vehicle high power charging hub at Frascati Centre yesterday. We attended the opening & have the full details on the location here. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/esb-eca...

I enjoy these little articles and being able to share what’s happening in the #EV world. I always have to laugh though, in school I was never good at English as a subject and my written ‘stuff’ was always poor, so a bit mental to have multiple articles in print and online nowadays!

You read more about it here www.zevi.ie/universal-de...

Today's International Day of Persons with Disabilities, so we'd like to draw attention to ZEVI's Universal Design Guidelines, which "aim to make EV charging infrastructure accessible to all users, summarising key considerations when designing, installing and operating EV charging infrastructure"

I had the enormous honour of participating in this event for President Connolly, organised by An Taisce. I spoke about the transformative potential of sustainable energy. My speaking notes are here: hannahdaly.ie/2025-11-19-a...

We had our first #NeurodiversityNetwork GLOBAL call today. I say Global, because we’ve had local chapter meetings to plan for 2026 the past while and this was a “come along today, we’ve booked a room for this thing” and 3 of us boyos not knowing that we were then ON CAMERA for the event turned up 🤣

Want to know the impact of Oct being a new low in fossil fuel generation? My #bev 9 seater Citroen averages less than 30kWh/100km, but taking that for simplicity and over constraining the worst BEV efficiency on the roads… The average of 214gCO₂/kWh gives us,

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

I love this bit: “Crean’s win caused a massive shock by winning” over the defending champ. I see this lady daily, sometimes 2x a day running. This win has been nothing but sheer consistency and dedication. Nothing more. Absolutely incredible performance and achievement, incredibly well deserved!

Others have noted that this doesn’t have anything to say about who rioters were. But neither does it have a single word to say about the terrified people inside City West who were the intended targets of the mob’s violence

Went to Ballina/Killaloe like I said I would. The old bridge is busy with people out walking, and a handful of cyclists. The new bridge is busy with walkers/runners/cyclists, mothers with kids on bicycles cycling the main road etc It’s almost like build and they will come….

I’m 15 yrs working in the Semicon industry, did my BSc in IC engineering, so this is a very very cool statistic, the amount of effort to reduce silicon wafer thickness like this is very impressive and quite hard to explain with being really nerdy about it 🤣 In v v simple terms, it’s cheaper now!

This is cool, a spot I don’t get to enough because traffic over this bridge, now closed to cars, was mental. Might just be heading for a spin this weekend 👌

40 additional CCS/CHAdeMo connectors have gone live in Ireland in the last month, but @thommcg.bsky.social has done the sums and it’s predicted that we will hit 30+% *NEW* CCS connectors by the end of this year! Phenomenal growth and a clear indication that #EVsky is the way forward!

Nothing too drastic for BEV in Budget 2026, good to see extensions to existing parts that help keep electrification affordable, and to keep existing grants and reliefs around for longer to keep the EV transition going! #Busget2026 #EVsky

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

To those who complained about KPop Demon Hunters, I’ve just returned after settling the youngest man for bed to see that ‘King Fishers’ is currently on the tv. It’s ‘competitive fishing’ in the style of Come Dine with Me / Four in a Bed 😐 come back KPop, all is forgiven

My own solar PV went in May 2023. In the first 7 months it saved me €900, and pricing had changed year on year for purchased elec, but I’m still saving around €1k a year minimum, 2024 had a savings of €1,160! That’s (now) a house of 2 adults, 4 kids and 2 Fully electric van & car!

With Q3 now over, a quick look at fast charging infrastructure deployed YTD: - CCS +253 (+24%) - Chademo +36 (+4%) www.irishevassociation.ie/infrastructu... Currently in build are a further 100+ CCS / Chademo. www.irishevassociation.ie/infrastructu...

Now that’s a mental finish to the Rams V Eagles game, phenomenal block on the field goal for a Touchdown 🤯

We installed these bee boxes through our work #GreenTeamNetwork at #LoughGur a few years ago. Absolutely amazing to see them with life a few of years later and for most to be like this! We were in Curraghchase yesterday, it’s been a weekend of #ShinrinYoku aka #ForestBathing #TreatyCity #Bees

Changes enabling on-street charging solutions was a big focus of our submission on Exempted Development Regulations recently. We hope to one day share an RTE, Independent, etc. article titled "EV kerb chargers in Dublin are a game-changer, say drivers". www.bbc.com/news/article...

EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK starts today! The CONUNDRUM Research Project team is delighted to launch our TownsMatter platform as part of our @researchireland.ie National Challenge Fund project.

August's "Irish Grid Monthly" is now unlocked on our website. In addition to our regular stats and charts: - Storm Floris pushed wind to new August highs 🪁 - the quality of energy reporting in Ireland 📻 - Kerry has its first solar farm ☀️ www.greencollective.io/post/monthly...

Just look at what happened with solar investment - it’s astonishing. Solar has seen the most rapid investment growth, soaring from $142 billion in 2015 to a projected $441 billion this year.

The problem of PHEVs having much higher real-world emissions has been discussed for five or six years now. The fact that the car industry hasn't published any real-world emissions results to the contrary tells me that they don't have any.

ESB ecars World EV Day Offer - Tuesday 9th September, is World EV Day and ESB ecars are marking the occasion with something special. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/esb-eca...

Brite Rapid Charge Ultra in Galway is now live, & the largest public charging hub in the West. We stopped by to check it out, & detail what it has to offer EV drivers. www.irishevassociation.ie/news/brite-u...

Irish solar generation in 2025 has already outpaced 2024's total as of the end of July, and it looks set to reach 1TWh for the first time ☀️ This and much more in the latest "Irish Grid Monthly", available to all our newsletter subscribers *now*. Subscribe for free today (like in bio) 📬

September's almost upon us, & compared to start of July, we see a further 70+ CCS & Chademo now live, with near a quarter of counties activating at least 6 connectors during the past 2 months. www.irishevassociation.ie/infrastructu...

I will be chatting with some of the team from ZEVI this evening on the latest info on Vehicles, Infrastructure and Communications. Tune in live from 8pm Irish time to see what’s happening!

Excellent piece as a short but very informative read on the current situation we find ourselves in here in Europe. Electrification is the way forward, it’s not hard, just needs to keep moving!!!

This has taken a little bit of time to parse the lists that are there, but it’s always nicer to *show* the data vs an excel list. This also shows the coverage of what Gov funding is going to bring to EV charging that will just keep the #EV transition going! #EVsky #Greensky

Live. On. Air. As rescuers were attempting to rescue the injured from the first bombing

Got to say this rings very true for us here in Ireland as well! We are quite a dispersed country, and a vehicle works for the majority, so EVs are vital for what is required in the coming years. 1/

Great thread (and I would say this) but a big part of Europe acting like a geopolitical power requires cutting fossil fuel funding of the Russian war machine, Qatar linking gas exports to weakening our human rights laws and the US trying to force us to buy their gas. Electrification does it all.

New album releases from Deftones and Three Days Grace. What is this, the early 2000’s???

I cannot keep stressing enough how much Charging Infrastructure for #electricvehicles is coming. I’ve given up counting the lines to give a break down, it’s over the 100 sites at this point. Yes we need more infrastructure, but it’s coming!! #evsky #greensky #alwaysbecharging

Some of the charts by the folks at @data.ft.com who reached out to us recently for data to support their deep dive, published online yesterday, into the use of fossil fuels by data centres 🏭 Ireland of course was a focus and we were proud to be asked to contribute to this Financial Times article!

Netanyahu announced full occupation of Gaza — while people starve, are displaced and killed. This is genocide. EU must act now: - Impose a full arms embargo - Suspend the EU-Israel Agreement - Move to recognise Palestine Stop the war. Ceasefire and humanitarian aid — now!

Quick reminder: Just because it’s not a fossil fuel, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing.

Bit of touring #Donegal today. Got to Dungloe and charged to 99% before heading up to Dunfanaghy, quick stop at Glenveagh National Park, then lunch in Annagry at Caisleáin Óir after some plane spotting at Donegal Airport. Then back to Dungloe, at 38.33%

A breezy welcome to Donegal trip 2025. Sun peaking through, but lots of wind and rain. 343kms from #TreatyCity to #WestDonegal and time to chill. Watching the rain come over the mountains is soul cleansing, so let it rain!!

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

Starmer really is a moral vacuum. Utterly devoid of any principles. Palestinians either deserve statehood, or they don’t. Whether Israel continues to murder them by starvation or not is totally irrelevant to their claim on statehood
