First Time Renting an Electric Vehicle? Start with the BYD Lineup

Considering electric power for the first time? You are not alone.

Now, because of the high numbers of tourists and Dubai residents turning towards using electric vehicles (EVs) instead of petrol engines, there is one brand in particular that makes the switch easy, economical, and even fun: BYD (Build Your Dreams).

And in case you are not aware of what it is like to drive an EV, renting one of the BYD models is what is sure to help you to take the plunge. BYD has vehicles such as BYD Seal, BYD Tang, BYD Han EV, and BYD song plus, and there is one suitable to every type of driver.

Why Choose an EV for Your Dubai Rental?

The most obvious thing is that Dubai is future ready, and the same goes for the roads there. There are charging points opening in malls, hotels, and parking garages, as well as desolate resorts, so renting an EV here is no longer an issue, it is upgraded.

Why Electric Cars Are a Good Idea in Dubai:

• Free fuel: Electricity is less expensive than petrol.
• Environment-friendly benefits: Environmentally friendly commutes in an urban area that strives to reduce carbon emissions.
• Smooth and quiet: Great to get you around late at night in the JBR or early in the morning around the Marina.
• Immediate Tele: Electronic power is immediate power when you want to have fun; many people do not anticipate it.

However, the question is, Why BYD?

The BYD (Build Your Dreams) electric car brand is the largest in China, and it is beginning to cause ripples in the UAE rental market. And in case you are afraid to change to a new source, BYD models will give you a smooth change from traditional fuel vehicles to innovative EVs.

Charging Your BYD: Where and How

Dubai makes it simple. You can charge BYD EV:

• DEWA Green Chargers (hanging out in most malls, public parking)
• There are hotels like Atlantis, Address Downtown, and Jumeirah Beach Hotel.
• Carrefour or Waitrose (some store) supermarket chains
• EV apps such as PlugShare, ChargeMap and DEWA’s EV Green Charger Locator (EV LOKATOR).

Charging Time Overview:

One of our customers (Jake, an Australian) rented a BYD Han during his five-daystay in Dubai last month. Never driven electric before, had he? We gave him a rushed training, and he was on his way.

This is what he stated:

The initial 10 minutes were like being on a spaceship, though in a positive sense. Silent, smooth, so much technology. I was having so much fun that I ended up renewing my rental. And charging? Was self-sustaining when I was going to the beach. I will never go back to petrol again.”

Cases such as the one of Jake are getting common. It is clear to the majority of first-timers: there is nothing difficult in becoming electric, just more intelligent.
