Why Rent an Electric Car?

Driving is exactly the same as a normal vehicle with Automatic gearbox, don’t forget that most OEM have electric just as another engine type in same model (Peugeot 208) 

You can charge on any plug and there are more than 150,000 chargers in Europe. But we can also offer you roadside energy assistance 

An Electric vehicle emits no CO². But sometimes making electricity generates CO².

When electricity ismade out of wind, solar, nuclear, there are almost no CO².

But if electricity is made out of coal, CO²emissions are above 100g/km.

Globally European average to generate electricity is 65g/km, halfpetrol emission.

The distance an Electric vehicle can travel on one full charge is described as its autonomy or range. The vehicle description on our website displays official autonomy as advised by the manufacturerand is based on urban/suburban driving in ECO mode. In real conditions, the autonomy should be 10% lower, but can also be 10% higher if you are drivingsmoothly and anticipating. 

In cold weather, the impact of heating will decrease your autonomy by up to 15 % (depending on theoutside temperature). Remember that if vehicle is plugged during night, you can program preheating of the cabin so thatvehicle is hot when you leave, allowing you to save autonomy. 

On the highway, range is roughly 2/3 of the displayed autonomy 

Roughly you will lose 36 km of autonomy by every 1000m of altitude.And when going down, you will recover 20 km by every 1000m of altitude. 

When speed is stable, on highway for instance, load has no impact.But when driving in city with lots of start/stop, you could lose up to 33% of autonomy by ton.

Electric vehicles can be charged on domestic charge points which deliver charging speed up to 8X higher than domestic sockets and enable safe charging. In case you are not interested in installing a charge point at home, you can still use a domestic socket, with a 7 hour charge time providing enough electricity for a 100km journey.

Public charging stations allow greater autonomy in quicker charging times.There are over 165,000 public charging locations across Europe with details here. 

In the trunk of the vehicle you will find two types of charging cables. One for domestic, one for cityroadside charging.If charging on the highway use the cable attached to the charging pole. 

Charging times depend on power capacity of charging station and vehicle charging power. Please find details in our user guide for each vehicle. 

However, on a domestic socket, you will recover 100km of autonomy within 7 hours.On the highway, you will recover 100km in less than 20 minutes. 

Generally charging poles are not equipped with credit card reader. Some charging poles on highways allow pay by phone. Mostly, you need to be registered by a service provider and start charge with a specific RFID Card. 

To charge on a public charging pole, you will need an RFID card and to be registered by a serviceprovider. We suggest a subscription free solution, pay per use, with our charging partner NewMotion - a member of the Shell group.

You can register easily by downloading the NewMotion App, providing e-mail, bank details and cardnumber. After registration your New Motion RFID card will be given to you when you collect yourrental car. Full details and process will be sent to you prior to the rental pickup date. 

There is no throttle or noise when vehicle is started. However a icon or the word “READY” is displayed on instrument panel. 

All our Electric Vehicles are equipped with a pedestrian alert. Below 20 or 30km/h, vehicle isgenerating a whistle. 

Indeed, “B” is a specific drive mode where regenerative braking is increased when driver releasedacceleration pedal.Vehicle is then slowing down much quicker when driver releases this pedal. 

Electric engine can provide directly maximum torque allowing very strong acceleration. 

All Electric vehicles are allowing different drive mode: 

- ECO : acceleration is limited, behavior is similar to a conventional vehicle. But oftenheating or cooling are also limited to increase range.

- Normal mode : average mode- Sport mode : vehicle provide maximum acceleration and behaves like a sport car.
