EV travel best practices on Curaçao

You don’t need to be an expert to road‑trip with an EV on the island. These widely accepted EV habits help keep your day smooth and your battery happy:

• Start full when you can: Top up at the resort before longer outings.
• Plan round‑trip routes: Choose loops that comfortably bring you back to the resort to recharge.
• Precondition while plugged in: If your car supports it, pre‑cool or pre‑heat the cabin before departure so the grid—not your battery—does the heavy lifting.
• Drive smoothly: Moderate speeds and gentle acceleration conserve range.
• Use regenerative braking: Capture energy on descents and during city driving.
• Carry your adapter: Standards vary by vehicle; bringing your own adapter is a smart backup.
• Practice charging etiquette: Move your car when finished so others can plug in.
• Keep payments simple: The resort is cash‑free; carry a payment card for any services that require it.
