Before buying an electric vehicle it is essential to gain understanding of the necessary

You should check that the electric vehicle is outfitted with a charger with a "standard" connection, i. e. suitable to draw in electrical energy from ENEL’s grid and therefore from the power outlet in our garage. If not then there is a problem and you have to contact the owner.

This solution in the standard equipment fitted by using an electric vehicle allows to charge the batteries anywhere with mains electricity. Indeed planet have other various battery chargers. However, these don’t let to draw electricity in the mains supply but need special adapters or have to be connected directly to the charging points in service stations available these days in large towns. The ideal solution is to use a battery charger aboard the car using a high-frequency standard socket without the need to resort to external devices.

When taking into consideration an electric vehicle you should examine the costs to deal with for the energy needed to power the set of batteries. Appliances allow to reduce energy costs are definitely the ones that allow to charge the batteries directly from the national domestic mains supply. Normally a full energy charge for a whole set of traction batteries for vehicles that draw energy directly from the mains supply does not cost more than 2 euros.

Vehicles fitted with a standard charger allow to optimise time spent in the home to charge the batteries. Indeed on average it takes 8 hours to fully charge a set of traction batteries. We advise charging the whole set of batteries overnight, after the vehicle was used during the day, along with the cheapest electricity tariff. It is also possible to charge the batteries for less time in the daytime for partial charges.

Partial charges do not result in problems affecting the runtime and/or efficiency of the set of batteries, as they are not subject to the memory effect. Precisely as they do not suffer from the memory effect, the group of batteries of electric vehicles posseses an average life of about 4 years.

A fully charged pair of batteries of your electric vehicle enables an uptime that varies between 70 and 100 km, with respect to the model and set-up selected.
