ESB quotes 4,200 kWh as the “average”, but that assumes a modest gas-heated home — heat-pump and EV households often use 6,000–9,000+.

The CompareElectricity Index
We're building Ireland's real electricity average
Everyone quotes ESB's 4,200kWh “average” — a figure that suits a modest, gas-heated home and understates a modern all-electric house. So we're compiling the real number from people's actual usage, anonymously.
Anonymous and aggregate only — no names, no addresses, no account numbers. 1 of these are metered ESB exports.
EV charging calculator
Know when it finishes. Know exactly what it costs.
Model an overnight home charge against current supplier-published EV rates. If the car cannot finish inside the cheap window, the remaining energy automatically moves onto the night or day rate.
