Articles on: 4. Charging & range

How much charge do I need to leave, and how long does charging take?

You can return the car at any charge level above 10%, but please plug it in when you get back and ensure it's charging so it's ready for the next driver. On the building charger a full top-up takes a few hours.

Keep an eye on range while you drive — the figure shown is a guide and real range varies with driving style, weather and air-con.

Letting the battery go flat through negligence can mean a call-out fee ($100 plus towing), so charge before you run low.
