Pump Prices Ease A Little, But Charging Costs Climb
Petrol and diesel were about 1% cheaper in November, while ESB raised public EV charging prices. What it means for delivery costs.
In Short
- Petrol averaged €1.96 a litre in November, down from €1.98 in October.
- Diesel averaged €2.13 a litre, down from €2.15.
- ESB raised its fast public chargers to 83 cent per kWh from 72 cent.
- Energia raised some home EV charging rates by 20% to 30% from 12 October.
The AA's November survey shows fuel getting slightly cheaper in Ireland. Petrol is down about 2 cent a litre and diesel about 2 cent.
Electric vehicle charging is going the other way. ESB put its public charging prices up on 2 November, the second rise this year.
A 40-litre petrol fill now costs about €78. A 50-litre diesel fill costs about €106.
ESB's standard chargers on pay-as-you-go went to 70 cent per kWh from 60 cent. Energia's home charging rates rose by 20% to 30% for some drivers from 12 October.
The AA says pump prices follow world oil prices, wholesale fuel costs, politics and currency moves.
What Does This Mean For Your Restaurant?
If you run your own delivery van or pay couriers, the small fall in fuel helps a little. If you have switched to electric vehicles, expect your charging bill to be higher than last month.
