Electric driving with Greenwheels

 

When you take an electric car on the road, you have to deal with a charging cable that you have to disconnect and connect. In the videos below, we explain the steps for disconnecting and starting, and reconnecting and charging an electric shared car. (For information on fast charging on the go, click here).

 

Disconnecting and starting an electric Greenwheels

  1. Open the car with the app.

     

  2. The app will ask you to enter you personal Greenwheels PIN either in the app itself or in the on-board computer. If present, you can find the on-board computer in the glove compartment.

  3. Take the key from the glove compartment. You’ll find it either in the on-board computer, or in the key and card holder on the left side.

  4. Hold the card in front of the card reader on the charging station and remove the charging cable.

  5. Unlock the car again with the key and then pull the charging cable out of the car as well.

  6. Then, close the charging lid and do not forget to put the charging cable in the back of the car.

  7. Please note that the car is an automatic. To drive off, press the brake and put the car in D (drive).

Returning an electric Greenwheels

At the end of your trip, return your Greenwheels car to its designated location. Make sure to connect the car to the charging station so it's ready to go for the next Greenwheels driver. Just follow the steps below to reconnect the car to the charging station and end your trip.

 

  1. Take the charging cable from the boot and connect it to the car. Connect the charging cable to the charging station.
  2. Hold the charging card in front of the card reader of the charging station to activate the charging process.
  3. When the light on the charge point turns blue, the car is charging.
  4. Finished charging? Put the key and card back in the glove compartment. Here you’ll find either an on-board computer where you insert the key and card, or a key and card holder on the left side of the glove compartment.
  5. Lock the car and end your trip with the app.

Fastcharging

 

When you can drive less than 50 km on the battery, it's time to start (fast) charging. Watch our instructional video on fast charging here.
