Notes when using electric cars for long distances

Car owners need to calculate the travel route in advance, check the charging stations in the area to come, estimate the time.

Unlike gasoline cars, electric vehicle users will need to pay more attention during travel because electric vehicles have not yet completed the charging station system and need a longer refueling time.

Therefore, users need to create 3 habits when using electric vehicles, especially when traveling long distances:

Determine the distance traveled

Not only the distance, users also need to check the types of terrain to move. In which, car owners need to calculate how many kilometers of highway, flat road or mountain road.

Electric cars are like petrol cars, when traveling on open roads, energy consumption will also be less, but bad roads, congested roads will make the car more battery drain.

Check the charging stations in the area to go

Pre-checking the charging station system at the points to come or go will help the car owner to determine the appropriate recharging place. Currently, electric vehicles in Vietnam still face difficulties in deploying charging station infrastructure, due to the larger required space, where the charging station also needs a stable power source.

VinFast is the only car company deploying charging station infrastructure for electric vehicles in Vietnam. However, this number of stations will not be able to cover as wide and as many as traditional gas stations.

Meanwhile, the market also has many other electric vehicle models, but due to the small market share, many companies will not be able to deploy the charging station system on a large scale. This is also a problem in many large countries that are gradually transitioning to electric vehicles.

Therefore, customers need to actively check the charging station system on the route, or find a place to stop with enough space to charge, because most electric vehicles have chargers at home.

Calculate travel time

The travel time of electric cars on a distance will not be much different from gasoline cars. However, the charging time of electric vehicles is usually at least 11-15 minutes longer than gasoline cars, depending on the charger with fast charging mode, or 30 minutes for a distance of 180 km. (standard data on the VinFast VF e34 model). While charging will usually take many hours. Therefore, if car owners need to handle urgent work, long distances, and no time for rest, they should pay attention to this factor.

Car owners can combine stops to charge. Normally, the rest time will be about 10-15 minutes, which is also enough time to quickly charge an electric vehicle. Car owners should also plan for a longer rest and travel time than petrol and diesel cars if using an electric vehicle.

However, traveling by electric car for long distances still has certain advantages when electric vehicles often have less problems related to the engine system. Because most electric vehicle engines are quite simple and do not have many mechanical details.

In addition, electric vehicles are often synchronized with the management system on the phone application. Therefore, users can easily check the travel route, the charging station system.
