Expansion for Honda across the country

Honda announced they are expanding their EV dealer network in Ireland. Under the expansion there will now be seven specialised Honda EV dealers nationwide selling the all-electric Honda e.

The additional EV dealerships are Slaney View Honda in Carcur, Co. Wexford, and John Adams Honda in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. Honda’s e dealer in Cork is Kevin O’Leary Motor Group.

To celebrate the expansion of the Honda EV network, Honda have teamed up with Energia to make your transition to driving electric hassle free.

The partnership offers all eligible customers of the Honda e a free Energia bundle including the installation of a free home charging system plus a saving of 20 per cent on green electricity with Energia. Customers simply check their SEAI grant eligibility and Energia will take care of the rest.

Speaking at the announcement, John Saunders Sales and Marketing Director for Universal Honda Ltd said: “With a greater focus on environmental issues we are witnessing our customers looking to seek cleaner mobility and energy choices here in Ireland. The expansion of our EV network represents our commitment to reflecting this change as we transition towards Honda’s 2022 goal, where our entire model range will be electrified.

“Therefore, we are delighted to be partnering with Energia who pride themselves on providing 100 per cent green electricity and together we are helping to improve our environment.

“Under this partnership all eligible Honda e customers will receive a free home charging system plus a saving of 20 per cent on green electricity making the transition to owning an electric car as easy as possible. We all have a part to play in securing our futures and choosing how you power your home or car can make that happen.”

Gary Ryan, Managing Director of Customer Solutions at Energia Group commented; “At Energia we are committed to clean energy generation and usage that benefits homes and businesses across Ireland and contributes to the country’s climate action targets. Through our smart home solutions and renewable developments, emerging technologies are a core part of our business. As such, partnering with Honda, a globally renowned and innovative automotive manufacturing company, is a natural fit.”

“A central plank in the Government’s Climate Action Bill and national effort to reduce emissions is the adoption of electric vehicles with a target of close to one million on Irish roads by 2030. Honda will play an important part in these efforts and as Ireland’s greenest electricity supplier, we are delighted to partner with them in supporting this transition.”

The all-electric Honda e is available to order from €29,995 inclusive of SEAI grants and VRT relief totalling €10,000.
