FAQs - Battery

What type of batteries does an electric vehicle have?

Allied Electric vehicles are powered by leading- edge lithium-ion batteries similar to a great mobile phone. Battery cells are formed into a self-contained battery pack, carried entirely underneath the vehicle to avoid any intrusion into the load space. The battery pack casing is extensively tested for durability. The battery cells are memory-resistant - meaning they can be partially for fully charged and discharged without reducing full potential charge - and tested to perform over 1,300 full charge cycles.

Does the battery reduce the loading space of my electric vehicle?

No. Unlike some electric vehicles, the battery pack in Allied Electric vehicles is built underneath the body shell, meaning carrying capacity is optimised with no intrusion into the load or passenger space.

How do I charge my Allied Electric vehicle?

Recharging your electric vehicle is easy thanks to an on-board, dual-mode plug-in charger. This means your Allied Electric vehicle can be plugged into any industrial three-phase supply, such as that found in most commercial premises or topped-up using any standard domestic single-phase supply.

How long will it take to charge my electric vehicle?

Normal charging using a three-phase power supply will take approximately 6-9 hours to charge from 10% to 100%. (Charge time dependant on vehicle type.)

If using a single-phase power supply to charge your electric vehicle it will take approximately 16 hours to charge from 10% to 100%. (Charge time dependant on vehicle type.)
