🔗 Everything you need alongside the Citroën ë-C3 Aircross Plus 400km
Every electric car 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. Without a home battery, typically only around 20–30% of that can be diverted to EV charging via a smart charger like myenergi Zappi — the rest covers household use or exports to the grid. That's roughly 5037–8444km of free driving a year in the ë-C3 Aircross, more if you're often home during daylight hours.
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.
