What is the range? Am I allowed to drive more kilometers?

When reserving an e-cambio you have to provide your estimated amount of kilometers (or estimated range) before being able to click ‘reserve’. We ask for the ‘estimated amount of kilometers’ when making a reservation, because we want to assure you the battery is sufficiently charged to be able to finish your trip. If you can estimate this correctly, you will never face an issue.

The range displayed is a theoretical value based on the WLTP standard of the vehicle. However, the actual range can vary significantly depending on several factors: your driving style, speed, weather conditions (such as temperature or headwind), and road type. These elements all influence the real consumption of the vehicle.

That’s why it’s important to make a realistic estimation. If your estimate is far too high, it’s possible that the car won’t have enough time to fully charge between two bookings, and your reservation might be blocked. At cambio, the maximum distance you can enter when booking an e-cambio is 150 km, depending on the car model. This limit is based on a realistic consumption range.

Driving more kilometers during your trip is absolutely no problem, of course. We just ask that you perform a charge along the way. This can be done with the charging pass in the car, at every public charging point. Absolutely free, of course.  For example, if you estimate your trip being 50km but you end up driving 100km during your reservation, you need to recharge.

For example, if you estimate your trip to be 50 km but end up driving 100 km, you’ll need to recharge the vehicle during your booking. Our guideline is: for every 25km you drive, you need to add 10% worth of charge. This way you don’t inconvenience the next user.

With this handy tool you can when exactly you need to charge during longer drives.

Enjoy e-cambio!
