Portugalrent aims to make its fleet more sustainable and have a proactive attitude towards the urgent challenge of reducing its ecological footprint.
For that reason we continue to increase our fleet of fully electric cars.
But what advantages will you have when renting an electric car?
☞ Sustainability
You can travel behind the wheel of a car with zero CO2 emissions, which will make you feel that you are on the side of the solution and not the problem.
☞ Economy
You can save a lot of money on your trip by not having to spend money on fuel and still benefit from the offer of a full battery charge when you rent the car from us.
If you ever need to charge the battery during your trip, you can always do so at the electric charging stations located at petrol stations, hotels, commercial areas, public areas or even at a domestic electrical outlet, which in this case will be obviously needed more time for charging.
We can guarantee that the price of this energy will always be lower than that of fuel (gasoline or diesel).
In some cities in Portugal (such as Lisbon) there is no charge for parking on city streets.
☞ Silence and Comfort
You can travel much more silently. Electric cars offer you the comfort of a much smoother and quieter ride due to the absence of the noise of a combustion engine. You can simply enjoy listening to the sound of the radio or your favorite playlists.
☞ Performance
The electric car has an instantaneous response, therefore faster when accelerating. The electric motor, when receiving energy from the battery, is soon able to function, having a very high torque at the beginning of acceleration, achieving its maximum speed very quickly. In a car combustion is not like that, because in this case it takes time for the fuel to be burned in the engine and to accelerate to produce more energy to reach the maximum speed.
For now, we have the following models available in our fleet:
→ Peugeot e-2008, Mercedes EQA 250, Mercedes EQB 250, Mercedes EQE SUV 350+, Mercedes EQE AMG 43 4Matic, VW ID.Buzz Pro ←
Managing your trip behind the wheel of an electric car is simple. We offer a full battery charge, which in some cases may be sufficient. If the trip is longer, you can charge the car at any electric charging station.
Battery life depends on several factors, including speed, which makes battery life longer when driving in urban areas. In all these models you can use an efficient battery management system to regenerate the battery with braking and deceleration.
The future is here, enjoy it!
