As we see more and more electric vehicles on our roads, and being used by businesses, understanding how to operate battery-powered shuttle buggies, is essential.
With companies such as ECARMAS leading the way, you’ll find battered-powered electric vehicles in different settings all around the world. ECARMAS battery-powered shuttle buggies, for example, are useful in zoos, resorts, airports, and more besides.
Their customers in Germany often use them in airports in places like Munich and Frankfurt. It isn’t just airports that benefit from them though. Customers in Australia use them in zoos and parks in busy cities like Canberra and Sydney. Even French resorts in Nice and Cassis, France, find them hugely efficient.
As great as battery-powered shuttle buggies are, it’s important to use them correctly. Make sure you don’t make these silly mistakes with your electric shuttle buggy.
Letting your battery die too frequently
When you own an electric vehicle, it’s important to look after the battery. The battery is at the core of the vehicle. Without it, it simply will not operate so prolonging its life is essential.
One of the most common mistakes that people with battery-powered shuttle buggies tend to make, is allowing the battery to die too often.
You might find that your battery goes flat now and then because you forgot to charge it, or because the cable came loose, but don’t let it happen too often. Letting your battery drain completely before charging it can cause damage.
Ideally, don’t let your battery’s charge drop below 20% or go above 80%.
Charging battery-powered shuttle buggies at fast-charging stations too often
Another common mistake that battery-powered shuttle buggie owners tend to make is using the wrong kind of charging stations.
If your buggy’s battery needs charging up quickly, a fast-charging station can be useful. If you use these too often, the DC charger can reduce your battery life and its performance.
DC charging should only be done as a last resort, so try to stick to regular charging stations if you wish to prolong the life of your vehicle’s battery.
Driving your shuttle buggy too quickly
As great as it is being able to accelerate so quickly with EVs (electric vehicles) the downside is that acceleration will drain power.
Battery-powered shuttle buggies are surprisingly quick off the mark when you accelerate, but the faster you accelerate the more power you will use.
The last thing you want is to have a shuttle vehicle full of passengers break down because you drained the battery too quickly by driving too fast. Not only is this inconvenient, it’s also embarrassing and unprofessional.
Of course, you should accelerate when you have to. Just try not to drive too quickly, unless you want to constantly be charging your vehicle’s battery.
Charging as soon as you stop driving the buggy
Finally, the last mistake that we’re going to look at today is charging the battery as soon as you stop driving.
EV owners often get into the bad habit of putting their vehicles on charge as soon as they stop driving and switch the engine off. This can reduce the longevity of the battery.
After driving battery-powered shuttle buggies, it’s always best to wait a short while for the engine to cool down first before you begin charging.
