All of our rental vehicles can be charged with a regular 3-pin plug. The most conventional way of charging is via the supplied cable which plugs directly into a regular domestic supply. This allows you to charge anywhere there is access to a standard wall socket. The use of a dedicated circuit for your chosen socket is recommended.
You can charge the vehicle from a regular 3-pin plug socket so ideally it should be plugged in wherever it is left stationery for a long period (generally overnight).
Out and about, the UK’s infrastructure now boasts more than 10,000 charging points. There are currently more than 200 Rapid Chargers located at most of the UK’s motorway service stations, IKEA stores and Nissan dealers.
Because many public charging stations use high-voltage DC power, charging the vehicle at one of these stations is very fast – about the same amount of time as enjoying a cup of coffee – and sometimes free, so they offer a convenient way to go further in a day. Visit www.zap-map.com to find the nearest public charging points, or to plan longer journeys.
It can take up to 12-15 hours to fully charge the vehicle’s battery from flat so plugging it in overnight is ideal. Rapid-chargers, found at public charging points (such as motorway services), will charge the vehicle to 70% capacity in just 30 mins. Charges may apply for this service – please speak to our advisers for further information. The Rapid Charge Port, located just left of the standard charging port.
