Best of all, you’ll earn at least a $6 promo code for your next family outing because you charged the EV battery by about 50%.

Make every drive better by following the 3 golden rules of EV charging

Everyone wants to have the best EV driving experience possible. However, there may be times when the EV’s battery level is less than optimal, and you’ll need to charge it at the start or end of your booking.

By following these 3 golden rules of EV charging, you can ensure that every EV drive is a good one for not just you, but the next user too:

Rule 1: If your EV’s battery level is below 50% at the end of your booking, please return it to its charging lot and charge it.
Rule 2: If your EV’s battery level is above 50% at the end of your booking, please return it to its home lot.
Rule 3: Make sure your EV is plugged in and charging at the charging lot. Parking without charging may result in a penalty for “hogging” the charging point.

Pro tip: If your EV battery level is 25% or below at the start of your booking, we recommend finding the nearest DC fast charger to juice it up to 50% or higher.
