Electric vehicles are equipped with an electric motor and a battery that powers it. Essentially, the battery is equivalent to the fuel tank of petrol or diesel vehicles, while the electric motor, like the traditional thermal one, generates traction on the front or rear axle and thus ensures the car’s movement.
For years, the automotive world has been experiencing a transition phase with an increasing spread of electric vehicles by manufacturers, now present in various segments with a range of electric cars from utility to higher categories
and SUVs. Although very different from traditional vehicles, electric cars can offer surprising ease and pleasure of driving.
The first aspect to consider when renting an electric car is the need to charge the battery, the related times, and the range in kilometers, which is essential for planning a trip.
If driving in urban areas, there are no particular issues as consumption is more contained and constantly monitored thanks to energy recovery systems during accelerator release or braking, which contribute to a certain degree of automatic battery recharge; moreover, charging stations, both open to the public and increasingly present in the parking lots of large companies or service areas, make usage extremely easy and convenient.
Electric car in extra-urban areas
If, on the other hand, you plan to undertake a long journey involving extra-urban roads or highways, careful planning is essential, taking into account the kilometers separating you from the destination, the range the vehicle can have with a fully charged battery, and the battery’s charging status.
Based on these data, it will be necessary to plan any stops for recharging, ensuring the presence along the route of service areas equipped with charging stations or stations in locations close to the planned route.
It is always advisable to start a long journey with the battery at the maximum charge level. Finally, it is always important to keep in mind that electricity consumption on extra-urban roads or, even more so, on highways increases exponentially due to the lower frequency of slowing down and stopping phases of the vehicle, which, as mentioned for city use, allows a considerable degree of energy recovery for the battery.
