158 - The Northern Ireland Episode

<p>This is episode 158 of EV Musings a podcast about renewables, electric vehicles and things that are interesting to electric vehicle owners.</p> <p>On the show today we'll be looking at one of the poor relations of the EV charging world: Northern Ireland. For many years they had a really limited number of Rapid chargers - many of which were not maintained. The situation was dire for NI EV owners.</p> <p>But that is finally starting to change.</p> <p>We chat with Mark McCall from EVANI for an update.</p> <p>This season of the podcast is sponsored by <a href= "https://www.zap-map.com/apps/?utm_source=EV+Musings+podcast+&utm_medium=Podcast+show+notes&utm_id=EV+Musings+podcast&utm_content=Links+to+app+page"> Zap-Map</a>, the free to download app that helps EV drivers search, plan, and pay for their charging.</p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong></p> <p>Funding for NI rollout improvements: <a href= "https://evani.uk/esb-to-transform-ev-charging-network-in-northern-ireland-with-3-27m-funding/"> https://evani.uk/esb-to-transform-ev-charging-network-in-northern-ireland-with-3-27m-funding/</a><br /> Grid connection Challenges in NI: <a href= "https://evani.uk/grid-connection-challenges-underlying-network-regulation-in-ni/"> https://evani.uk/grid-connection-challenges-underlying-network-regulation-in-ni/</a><br /> Multiple projects now underway in NI: <a href= "https://evani.uk/northern-irelands-public-ev-charging-projects-a-summary/"> https://evani.uk/northern-irelands-public-ev-charging-projects-a-summary/</a></p> <p><strong>Cool thing:</strong><br /> Two-Bit Davinci sells his Model 3 <a href= "https://insideevs.com/news/628600/tesla-model3-real-costs-3-years-60k-miles/"> https://insideevs.com/news/628600/tesla-model3-real-costs-3-years-60k-miles/</a></p> <p><br /> Episode produced by Arran Sheppard: <a href= "https://producerarran.com">https://producerarran.com</a></p> <p><strong>Social Media:</strong><br /> <br /> Patreon Link: <a href= "http://www.patreon.com/evmusings">http://www.patreon.com/evmusings</a></p> <p>Ko-fi Li
