The report makes good reading for EV drivers who are yet to experience any notable increases in the price of charging, with an AA Ireland spokesperson describng them as “stable” while “continuing to provide predictable running costs”. A picture of spiralling prices is developing at various petrol stations around Ireland today, manifesting growing anxiety among many that prices may become untenable. The general picture shows petrol hovering around the €2 mark, while diesel fires ahead at up to €2.30 per litre. Applegreen’s prices around the country today stand at up to 194.8c per litre for petrol and 214.8 for diesel. To make the most efficient use of your newly expensive fuel purchases, AA Ireland is advising smoother driving, removing unnecessary weight from tyour vehicle and to plan journeys in advance.
