How long do they take to charge, are they displaying ads as they charge. How big is your charger network in miles? So many questions? Very impressed. Congrats on the launch!
@jmacias Thanks Jaime! It really depends on the charger you're using. On a DC Fast charger they will charge 80% in 15 minutes. On a standard 220V Charger, they will charge up in a couple of hours. Our team of fleet rotators ensures that the cars are charged at all times, so you don't pick up a car with 10 miles of battery left. (In fact, the system won't allow cars with low charge to be rented). We also encourage our users to return the cars at chargers.
In terms of range - Rentals, for now, need to start and end in Santa Monica. The reason we did this is because Santa Monica has a very significant amount of public chargers, and also allows for free parking at metered spots for EV's with a cleanpass sticker.
If you drive more than 25 miles out of Santa Monica, we send you a warning text that you might not be able to make it back on the current range, so please turn around :)
