Most modern EVs offer a range between 200-300 kilometers on a single charge. However, actual range can vary based on factors like driving style, terrain, and weather conditions. In Rwanda's context, this is more than sufficient for daily commuting and occasional long-distance travel, as our charging infrastructure continues to expand.

Charging time varies depending on the charging method. With a home Level 2 charger, you can fully charge in 6-8 hours overnight. DC fast charging stations can charge up to 80% in 30-40 minutes. We recommend installing a home charger for convenient overnight charging, supplemented by public charging stations for longer trips.

No, EVs typically have lower maintenance costs. They have fewer moving parts, no oil changes, and regenerative braking reduces wear on brake pads. While the initial purchase price might be higher, the total cost of ownership is often lower due to reduced fuel and maintenance costs.

Electric vehicles often outperform traditional cars in acceleration and torque. They provide instant torque from a standstill, making them feel more responsive. EVs also offer a smoother, quieter ride and better handling due to their lower center of gravity from battery placement.

EVs require less routine maintenance than conventional vehicles. Regular checks include tire rotation, brake fluid, cabin air filter, and coolant levels. The battery system is generally maintenance-free but should be regularly inspected by certified technicians during scheduled service visits.

Yes, EVs are increasingly practical in Rwanda. With growing charging infrastructure, sufficient range for daily commuting, and lower operating costs, they're well-suited for most users. Many models offer ample cargo space and modern features, making them ideal for both urban and suburban driving.
