Electric cars – FAQs

Electric cars are relatively new in the motoring world but they are growing in popularity. Here are a few frequently asked questions about electric cars – things we all need to know!

How fast can electric cars go?

Electric cars can achieve the same speeds as their traditional counterparts. And some can even go faster – The Tesla Model S can do 0-100km/h in 2.5 seconds. You don’t need to worry about speed being a problem while driving your Tesla rental!

What is range anxiety?

Your EV has a range estimation based on its current charge level – how far will you be able to go before needing to the next charge. Range anxiety is the driver’s concern that they won’t be able to reach their destination before running out of power. With an improved charging network and better technology, range anxiety is slowly becoming a thing of the past though!
