Most modern electric vehicles (EVs) in Kenya offer a driving range of 200 to 600 kilometers on a full charge. However, the actual range you achieve can vary depending on factors such as your driving habits, the terrain, and weather conditions.

Electric cars often outperform petrol vehicles in terms of acceleration and torque, thanks to their instant torque delivery. This gives them a quicker response and a smoother, quieter driving experience. EVs also offer better handling and stability due to the low center of gravity from their battery placement.

Yes, electric cars are highly practical for daily use, including commuting, shopping, and both short and long-distance trips. With a range sufficient for most daily driving needs, low running costs, and features like ample boot space, EVs are ideal for urban life as well as occasional longer journeys.

Charging time depends on the type of charger you use. A 7kWh home charger can fully charge your EV in 6 to 8 hours, making it ideal for overnight charging. DC fast chargers, often found at public stations, can charge your vehicle in just 30 to 50 minutes. We recommend charging your EV at home for regular use and using public fast chargers for longer trips.

No, electric vehicles are generally cheaper to maintain than petrol cars. They have fewer moving parts, which means fewer components that wear out over time. Regenerative braking also reduces wear on brake pads. While the initial purchase price of an EV is usually higher, the overall ownership cost is lower due to minimal maintenance needs and the elimination of fuel costs.

Electric vehicles require less routine maintenance compared to traditional petrol cars. Key maintenance checks include brake fluid, air filters, tire rotation, and coolant levels. Additionally, regular safety inspections are conducted on the battery system and overall vehicle health.
