Van rental 10m3 full electric
Ford e-Transit
⚡ Do I need to charge the battery before return ?
Electric vehicles are provided with a battery charged at 80% minimum. Bringing back the car, you've got 3 options :
- You buy your electric charging before departure subscribing the Full Tank Option for 35€. Don't worry about the level of the battery when you bring back the car,
- You return the vehicle with a battery charged at 80% minimum and you've no extra to pay.
- You return the vehicle with a battery charged at less than 80%. We'll charge you of 9€ per 100 km missing + Service charge of 12€
ex : Your rent a Citroën ë-C4 and bring it back with only 20% of autonomy.
We charge you of 60% to reach the expected 80%.
Manufacturer's autonomy announced for this model : 350 km
Missing kms : 210 km (60% of 350 km)
You'll have to pay : 30.90€ (210 x 9€/100 + 12€ for service charges = 30,90€
⚡ Can we trust the autonomy annouced by the car manufacturers ?
Don't be surprised. The true autonomy is lower than the autonomy given by the manufacturer (between 350 et 600kms depending on the models). The difference depends of your driving mode, the equipment used (heating, air conditioning, radio...), and the type of road (highway, city).
Remember the 50/80 rule. In the worst case scenario (ex : cold, highway), the true autonomy will be 50% of the announced autonomy. In the best case scenario, it will be 80%.
Autonomies mentionned by car manufacturers :
- Ford e-Transit 10 & 12m3 = 200 km (VS 317 km autonomy announced by the manufacturer)
- Peugeot e-208 = 210 km (VS 450 km)
- Fiat 500e = 190 km (VS 320 km)
- Renault Zoé = 190 km (VS 380 km)

- Opel Corsa-e = 140 km (VS 350 km)
