Electric cars are quiet – keep in mind that pedestrians may not hear you.
Electric cars are significantly more dynamic and accelerate faster than comparable gasoline (ICE) cars. Please keep this in mind when driving for the first time, especially if you've chosen the BMW i3.
Electric cars have an automatic transmission. To start them, you need to simultaneously press the brake and turn the key (or press the START button). Some models, such as the Dacia Spring and Renault Zoe, require you to put the car in neutral (N) with the handbrake engaged.
