Electric Vehicles

What drivers and owners need to know about renting and managing electric vehicles.

For Drivers

  • Charging before return:

    • Return the EV with the same battery charge level it had at pickup.
    • If you return the car with less charge, the owner may charge an incidental fee for recharging.

  • Plan charging ahead:

    • Use charging stations along your route to avoid running out of charge.
    • Confirm with the owner what options are best for the vehicle.

  • Know the mileage range:
    • EVs vary in range depending on model and battery health. Review the listing and confirm limits with the owner when booking.

For Owners

  • Vehicle readiness:
    • Ensure your EV is fully charged and ready for pickup.
    • Provide renters with the charging cable and adapter if available.

  • Listings:
    • Clearly state the estimated mileage range and any restrictions.
    • Add details about compatible charging networks or recommended charging apps.

  • Returns:
    • Inspect the charge level at return.
    • If it’s lower than at pickup, you may submit an incidental charge to recover recharging costs.

Best Practices

  • Drivers should review listing descriptions carefully for charge rules and mileage limits.
  • Owners should include clear photos and details of charging ports, cables, and adapters.
  • Both owners and drivers should communicate about charging expectations before the trip begins.
