Six Tips for Electric Car Holidays

  1. Make a Plan: Plan your trip in advance, including where and when to charge your car. This ensures you can take breaks at the most convenient times.

  2. Use the Car's Navigation: Familiarize yourself with your car's navigation system. It can guide you to the nearest charging points, making your trip smoother and more stress-free.

  3. Apps Can Make Charging Easier: Download charging apps to help locate charging stations, check prices, and facilitate payments.

  4. Keep a Battery Reserve: Avoid letting your battery drop below 10-20% of its capacity. Keeping a good reserve provides flexibility and security to reach the next charging station if needed.

  5. Charge Up to 80%: Charging your car to 80% is most efficient, as the last 20% takes longer. Opt for shorter, more frequent charging stops instead of fewer, longer ones.

  6. Research Charging Options at Your Destination: Check if your hotel, holiday home, or campsite has charging facilities. If you're stopping overnight, find accommodations with charging boxes to recharge your car while you sleep.

Planning and preparing for your electric car holiday ensures you have a pleasant and hassle-free journey. Embrace the breaks, use technology, and keep your battery levels in check to make the most of your road trip adventure.
