Thinking about renting an electric car? You probably have a few questions: how do you charge it, what to pay attention to while driving, and how does returning it work? Don't worry, driving an electric car is easier than you think. This article will explain everything clearly.
How does charging an electric rental car work?
When you pick up your car, you'll receive a fully charged battery. You can recharge your battery in several ways during your rental period:
- Public charging stationsSuitable for slow charging (AC). You use a charging card provided by Adrem.
- Fast chargersFor fast charging along highways (DC). Ideal for longer trips.
- At home or on location: If you have access to a charging point, you can also charge there with the supplied charging cable.
Please note: you are responsible for charging your car on time. At Adrem, we'll explain how charging works and what tools you'll receive.
Do I have to pay for charging myself?
Yes, you're responsible for charging. You'll receive a charging card with your rental, which you can use to pay for the charge later or have it automatically deducted. Rates vary by provider and charging location.
What should you pay attention to while driving?
Driving an electric car is different from driving a gasoline or diesel car. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Quiet and smoothAn electric car drives virtually silently and accelerates quickly.
- Range: Keep a close eye on your remaining mileage. The onboard computer shows exactly how much range you have left.
- Regenerative braking: Some models charge the battery slightly during braking or coasting.
Tip: Use an app like ANWB Onderweg or Chargemap to include charging points in your route.
What if the battery is empty?
If the battery is completely empty, you'll be stranded just like with an empty tank. In that case, you'll need roadside assistance. So make sure you charge in time, especially if you're making longer trips or traveling abroad.
How do you return an electric car?
At Adrem, we ask that you return the car with a reasonable charge, comparable to when you received it. If you can no longer charge it, we'll arrange for the top-up and charge a fee for it. These terms and conditions will be discussed with you in advance.
