Renault will be offering a free recovery service for EV drivers who run out of charge during a journey.

To get stranded owners back on the road, Renault will simply send them a replacement vehicle. As with most free things however, there are some terms and conditions. The journey in question has to have been within realistic reach of the EV in question, with the car running out of juice not due to the length, but due to traffic jams or conditions requiring the use of electric devices such as headlamps, windshield wipers, or air conditioning.

There will also be a limited number of times owners can use this service per year, although Renault hasn’t settled on a definite number just yet.
