Charging at home

Charging at home from 20 to 80%

On a 24-hour tariff, the time makes no difference: the same price at any hour. On a night rate, charge during the night hours (23h00 to 8h00; yours are on your bill). EV tariffs add an even cheaper window in the early hours.

With 16,000 km a year, always charging at home costs about €825 on a 24-hour tariff and €462 at the night rate: you save 362 € a year. Note: on a night rate the day rate is usually a little higher than the 24-hour rate, so it pays off most if you can also move other usage to the night. An EV tariff (such as Night Boost) is cheaper still in its short window.

Prices including 9% VAT, typical unit rates from Irish suppliers (with a new-customer discount), checked on 2026-10. Standing charge not included. Includes 10% charging losses.
