Breaking it Down

When using EV hire, you may need to return the car with the same battery level as at pick-up. Some bookings include prepaid charging, while others charge if the car is returned with a low battery. You can opt for the Charge Purchase Option (CPO) to avoid recharging the car yourself. This allows you to return your electric vehicle at a charge level above 10% and with the maximum at 80%.

To avoid additional fees, always check your return policy when confirming your EV hire.
