update about electric SUV rental offer

From the outside it is not too bulky, suitable for the city. Especially with its clear plastic body protection. But its cubic pavilion shape suggests a little more complexity than that. In the trunk, there is enough for this, with 355 liters, the same as a small compact sedan and among the best placed compared to its cousins ​​from the Stellantis group, which is however long, except compared to the Peugeot e- 2008 and its chassis extended (4.30 m), so it has better loading facilities (405 litres). But there’s a lot to vacationing for more than two people. Not more, due to the space left between the bench and the back of the front seats. An acceptable compromise for one car in the house at a good price, as intended by this government subsidy offer, especially if the occupants of the said seat turn out to be small. Internal storage is still small but the large central bin in the front handles downloading as many personal effects as possible.

Of course, it will be more difficult to compare the use of this family with the Avenger when taking the highway for a long trip. Its 51 kWh battery of useful capacity happens to be a little tight in this situation and will need to stop often. In a DC fast charging station, it can receive 100 kW of the required energy of 20-80% within 24 minutes. If the total autonomy is shown at 400 km, instead it will be necessary to count stations every 143 km at 110 km / h while considering this type of percentage (167 km from 10% to 80%) as we were able to evaluate at that time. our test in cold temperatures (but with only one person on board).

For each day, the full current charge of the converter takes about 8 hours with a terminal of 7.4 kW or more than 5.5 hours with a power of 11 kW, the maximum power provided by the on-board charger. You still need to have a charging station at home, the price suggested by the partner of Stellantis (Izi By EDF) for the device and its installation is a minimum of €1,650, paid in three free installments, increasing depending on the location. prepare This enables you to receive a tax credit of €500. A significant additional cost for a formula intended to be as accessible as possible, especially if the beneficiary cannot continue to drive an electric car after 2030, the date on which this “social rental” system will end.

He then remains with the solution of recharging at public stations if one of them is available near his home and free of charge during use. Or, charging from a home socket, so users can take advantage of it in their parking space. But in this case, the full payment requires no less than 34 hours for the Avenger (manufacturer’s data), which involves connecting to each parking lot, to recover the kilometers lost during the day every night without exception. And use fast stops for long journeys. Gymnastics that can be done for those who have a way to connect, but which you need to be aware of before taking them.
