Episode Details

Stranded in Connemara with a dead EV battery? A family’s frustrating experience near Kylemore Abbey highlights a shocking reality: out of 26 chargers in all of Galway, only one exists in Connemara—and it was broken when they needed it. This sparks urgent calls for the ESB to expand and maintain charging infrastructure, while national policymakers debate blame between local councils and utility companies. As Ireland pushes toward electrification, rural areas like Connemara reveal the infrastructure gap that’s making EV adoption feel less like progress and more like a headache—especially when you’re stuck in the middle of stunning scenery with no power to get you home.
