Frequently Asked Questions
What type of charger does the Tesla Model 3 use?
Type 2 CCS (Combined Charging System) fast charging, and Type 2 destination charging. This is the most widely available EV connector in NZ.
Do I need to recharge before I end trip?
Any vehicle returned with electricity/fuel below 10% that can't be relocated to a supported charging/fuelling location and needs to be towed may be subject to a critical energy fee. This can include any costs incurred from towing of the vehicle plus a $35 administration charge.
What if my vehicle has low charge when I start my trip?
All vehicles visible in-app are required to have at least 20% fuel or EV battery. 20% charge in the Tesla Model 3 will be more than enough for most Mevo Trips within the Home Zone.
I am planning a long trip. How do I find a vehicle with over 50% charge?
If you do find yourself wanting to go on a long trip, hit the 🚘 icon in-app (top right corner) and select your fuel % threshold, i.e. 50%). You'll only see vehicles with the threshold % or higher.
Does the Tesla Model 3 come with a portable charger?
No, our EV's do not come with a charger. Instead, our app is integrated with the ChargeNet network around the country. Simply select recharge while on trip for directions to the nearest ChargeNet station and follow the instructions in-app.
Will I still be charged for trip costs while I am recharging?
Yes, you will be charged for trip costs while recharging a vehicle. This is because as soon as you unlock your Mevo to start a trip, this vehicle will be only accessible to your account and not be available for anyone else's. Billing will stop when you return the vehicle to an approved parking zone and end trip.
Can I use the Tesla Fast Chargers?
Yes you can! It's as simple as finding your nearest Tesla charger and plugging in the vehicle.
The Tesla is in Valet Mode. How do I get it out?
If the Tesla is in Valet Mode, please contact us in chat.
I can't open the glovebox?
All of our Tesla's gloveboxes are locked. If you are needing to store something, please use the center console (illustrated below) which should provide ample space. If you are looking for the insurance forms - these are located behind the passenger seat.
