You know the first thing go in a new electric cars .. the battery .. no not that one.. the other one fir lights n radio .. how ironic generally after 18 months apparently

So ~16k pa between now and 2030 is ~ 100,000 on the roads when the government targeted 1 million? ? 🤣 that’s laughable

Just can't wait to have to charge my tesla 3 times on the way to wexford. Or that emergency 1 hour charge i need on the way to hospital. Or having to replace my €10k battery every 5 years.

Sad 😔

Let’s check back in 10 years and see how many are still there, after a €20k battery is needed.

We just bought a v6 ford ranger for the same price as a Nissan leaf 😂 yeh nah diesel please

Stuck in traffic in the middle of winter and you can't turn the heater on. The joys of driving an EV.

Pure scam. Electric car batteries expensive to replace. 5 years and cars will be worthless 🤣

My lights at home are flickering around the time everyone gets back from work. Wonders if it's the kettle and the immersion going on just after the car gets plugged in...all round a country you in soon.

Rte will you do an in depth investigation into how the materials for the batteries are got and how much fossil fuel is used to extract it I am sure people would like to know

Child cobalt miners will love that news

Yes if we all have electric cars...then this greedy dail will put electricity up More!! climatescam

Petrol-heads headed for extinction. Oh well.

Most of which are parked up and charging as we speak, while their gormless owners sit around waiting, looking lost and hopeless 😂
