Dead battery? This is what it costs if you break down in your electric car

Continue driving until the battery runs out of energy. Although some people Range anxiety There are enough owners of electric cars who drive with a small amount of remaining energy in the battery of their electric car. If you come to a standstill, it’s not free.

The ANWB tells Autovisie that it happens about twice a day that an electric vehicle breaks down with an empty battery. There are special mobile chargers available for roadside assistance. There are a total of ten in different locations in the Netherlands.

This is what it costs if you break down in your electric car

But what does it cost if you break down in an electric car? The ANWB does not see an empty battery as a bad case. However, you don’t have to cover all the costs yourself.

Whether your car is towed or charged with a mobile charger depends on the situation. In both cases you pay 90 euros.

Petrol or diesel car not filled up? The ANWB will help you free of charge

But it’s not just electric cars that are stranded with empty batteries; people with petrol or diesel cars sometimes don’t refuel in time. Is that happening? Then you don’t have to pay anything at all. The ANWB currently does not charge fees for petrol cars as they can often be started much more quickly. If an electric vehicle is equipped with a mobile charger, that alone takes 15 minutes of charging time. The electric car can then travel around 10 kilometers.

If the fuel pump breaks due to lack of fuel, it is a case of bad luck and therefore you pay nothing. At least if you have a membership. As an electric car owner, it is better not to drive for too long when the battery is low.

Not only is this annoying for you and bad for your car’s battery, the costs caused by the ANWB are well over 90 euros and you endanger yourself and the rest of the traffic. Better to spend 90 euros on a quick charger!
