Why hire an electric car?

Q: How do I drive an Electric Vehicle?

The majority of electric vehicles have an automatic gearbox, so they don&#39;t have gears. Instead, a typical electric vehicle is a single speed vehicle with two pedals; the accelerator and brake. Everything else is the same as driving any other vehicle as it is only the engine type which differs.

Q: What if I the battery is flat, will I be left stranded?

You can charge on any plug and there are more than 150,000 chargers in Europe. But we can also offer you roadside energy assistance

Q: Are they really better for the environment?

Electric vehicles do not emit harmful emissions like Co2, so they certainly help offset your carbon footprint towards a more sustainable existence. But it&#39;s not a cure all, after all making electricity still generates Co2, though it is minimal from renewable sources such as wind or solar.
