🔗 Everything you need alongside the Citroën Ami Electric Quadricycle
Every EV owner needs a home wallbox. Charging overnight on a 7.4kW wallbox at a night rate (~€0.24/kWh) costs far less than public charging — and the SEAI Home Charger Grant covers up to €300. Here are the most popular home chargers in Ireland right now:
A 4kWp home solar system generates approximately 3,400–3,800 kWh/year in Ireland — enough to cover 491–518km of free driving annually in the Ami. Pair with a myenergi Zappi charger to automatically charge from surplus solar generation before it exports to the grid.
The SEAI EV Home Charger grant (€300) can be applied alongside a Heat Pump grant (up to €12,500) and Solar PV grant (€1,800) — all in a single application. Switching your home heating to a heat pump while installing an EV charger and solar is the highest-savings combination available to Irish homeowners in 2026.
