This is very important, since any of these factors can reduce autonomy:
- Driving speed
- Loading weight
- Road conditions (potholes, climbs, sand, rain)
- Ambient temperature (batteries suffer in winter)
- Tire pressure
- Battery life
- Vehicle functions: Air conditioning, heating, high beams, etc.
Almost zero maintenance: By dispensing with traditional engines and a traditional gearbox with clutch, breakdowns of this nature are reduced to practically none, since there are very few moving elements exposed to wear in an electric car. No more changing filters, lubricants, distribution belts, clutch discs, various fluids, etc.!
We handle all spare parts (which have a low cost compared to traditional vehicles) and we have official training to make repairs. Furthermore, being exclusive representatives gives us the confidence to be able to respond to our clients in any situation.
All electric vehicles have to be registered and we can do the management.
Motorcycles are exempt from registration fees for four years from the date of registration. All other vehicles are registered at a rate of 3% of their value excluding VAT (this rate is lower than the 5% paid by combustion engine vehicles). This benefit is approved annually by the Congress of Mayors. Vehicles must be registered and have appropriate insurance (even if it's minimal).

- 50% at a rate of 0% (on some models) up to 24 installments
- You can make any type of delivery and finance the rest
