Newbies should know! Common precautions and mistakes when renting an EV
While renting an EV has become more convenient and easier, there are still some common mistakes, especially among new renters :
1. Not charging enough
- Don't wait until the battery is very low. Charge when it is around 20-30% and plan ahead. Because electric car batteries will degrade faster than normal when the battery is low.
2. Not reading the rental terms in full
- Each rental company has different requirements, such as free driving distance, return time, overdue charges, etc.
3. Misunderstanding the charging time
- AC charging can take 6-8 hours, while DC (Fast Charge) takes 30-60 minutes. You have to plan carefully.
✅ Recommendations :
- If renting in the city, choose a small car like the BYD Dolphin.
- If traveling to the provinces, focus on the ATTO 3 with a long-lasting battery.
- If traveling in a large group, choose the MG Maxus 9 for convenience and comfort.
