Are you driving an Adrem electric rental car? Then you might occasionally encounter busy charging stations on your journey. What does this mean for your trip and how can you best respond? In this article, we provide a clear overview with practical tips.
What do you do if a charging station is occupied?
- Please wait briefly
Some drivers wait by the car while it's charging. In many cases, you can connect quickly as soon as the spot is free. - Search for alternative charging points
Use apps like ANWB Onderweg or Chargemap to find charging stations nearby. This way, you avoid unnecessary waiting. - Think ahead with fast chargers
Fast chargers along motorways are popular, especially during holidays and busy travel times. Plan your charging times wisely to avoid waiting.
What does charging cost at busy charging stations?
The costs for charging your electric rental car can vary depending on the charging station, location, and provider. Fast chargers are generally more expensive than regular charging stations, but are convenient if you want to get back on the road quickly. You can usually see the current rate displayed on the charging station's screen or in the associated app.
Tips for on the go
- Start with sufficient charge
Ensure you leave with a well-charged battery, especially if you are driving to areas where charging stations are scarce.
- Avoid peak times
Charging at shopping centres, hotels, or along motorways can be busy in the evening or at weekends. If possible, choose a quieter time.
- Use multiple apps
This way you always have an alternative to hand when a charging station is occupied or out of order.
What if you come to a standstill?
Don't panic. If your battery is flat, you can count on breakdown assistance, just like with a petrol car that's run out of fuel. Adrem will ensure you're back on the road quickly.
