Fuel, Charging & Running Costs

What happens if I don't charge an EV properly?

Updated 31 October 2026 1 min read

If the car comes back with less charge than it had at handover, you pay for the missing charge plus a recharging fee, the same way as a fuel shortfall. The charge can be taken from your deposit.

Avoid it

  • Photograph the battery level at handover and return
  • Plan a charging stop before you return the car
