Charging questions
Charging, batteries and servicing
Does charging overnight harm the battery?
No. The car stops when it is full; many owners set the limit to about 80% for days with short trips.
Can I charge from a normal socket?
Yes for small models such as the VF 3 or the Mini EV, but slowly. The socket needs its own wiring and breaker; a technician checks it first.
How do public chargers charge you?
Usually by the kWh, paid in the operator’s app. The prices on this site are sample figures.
Will the battery wear out after a few years?
Capacity drops slowly with time and charging cycles. Battery warranty follows each maker’s policy.
What does an EV service cover?
Brakes, tyres, battery coolant, the cabin air filter and software updates, on each maker’s schedule.
