Electric vehicle FAQs

How do you start and drive an electric vehicle?

Driving an electric vehicle presents no particular difficulties.

On the contrary: since this type of vehicle does not have a gearbox, the driver does not have to shift gears manually, as is required in combustion-powered cars (except those with automatic gearboxes). Driving an electric vehicle therefore requires one less action on the driver's part.

Regardless of your model (ignition key or start/stop button), you need to keep your foot on the brake pedal to confirm the start-up procedure. You can then take your foot off the pedal and the vehicle will start silently. Because it is 100% electric, it will not make any noise, but your dashboard will confirm that it is on.

You do not use the clutch to travel forwards or to reverse; instead you use the selection lever and the accelerator pedal to indicate your choice. Press on the brake to slow down or stop. The vehicle stops and starts the motor by itself. After starting, you can enjoy flexible driving with dynamic pick-up and clean, instant acceleration.
