Charge when you can

A good tip is to try to charge whenever you can, rather than when you must. By never charging the battery more than 80 percent, you can also save time, as the last 20 percent takes the longest to charge. However, this obviously depends on how you plan to use the car.

Returning the electric car

You return the car at the specified location. The car should then have at least the same battery level as when you picked it up. And if you return the car with a charge level over 75 percent, you also avoid the charging fee. For electricity costs, we follow OKQ8's national pricing for fast charging.
