The experience

The Eli Zero is a closed, two-seat electric car with automatic transmission, air conditioning and the kind of tight turning radius that lets you pull off the road almost anywhere. It charges with solar panels and runs silently, which means you hear the island instead of an engine. The car's autonomy ranges from 60 to 90 kilometers depending on how you drive and whether the AC is on. The island itself is a 32-kilometer loop, so a gentle pace gets you around three times on a full charge (two times with AC running). The rental includes hotel pickup and drop-off, so you collect the keys and a detailed map, then set your own pace through the day.

The map marks the main stops: World War II American cannon emplacements, endemic trees and botanical detail, departure points for mountain hikes that lead to viewpoints, beaches, shops and restaurants. You decide which ones to visit and how long to spend at each. The vehicle's size and maneuverability mean you can stop at small pullouts and narrow beach accesses that larger tour buses cannot reach. The car has airbags and disc brakes, and a credit card and valid ID or passport are required at pickup. Battery management is your responsibility. The operator offers free charging at the office or a vehicle swap if the battery runs low, depending on availability.

Choose the 4-hour option for a focused loop hitting the main sites; the 8-hour rental gives you time to climb a mountain trail and linger at beaches; the 24-hour rental spreads the day across two departures and lets you return to favorites. All options include insurance with waiver and cover taxes and fuel surcharge.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

How far can I drive on a single charge of the Eli Zero?

The Eli Zero has an autonomy of 60 to 90 kilometers, depending on your driving style and whether you use the air conditioning. Since Bora Bora's island loop is 32 kilometers, you can complete the full circuit three times on a gentle drive without AC, or twice with AC running. The operator offers free charging at the office or a vehicle swap if you need it during your rental.

What sites does the map show me?

The included map marks World War II American cannon sites, endemic trees, mountain trailheads for hikes to viewpoints, beaches, shops and restaurants across the island. It also provides historical facts, legends and botanical information for each stop, so you learn as you drive.

Can I pick the car up from my hotel?

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included in your rental, so the operator collects you from your accommodation and returns you at the end of your rental period.

What happens if the battery runs low before my rental ends?

Battery management is your responsibility, like managing fuel in a regular car. The operator offers free charging at their office or can provide a vehicle swap if one is available, depending on the time of day and availability.

Is the Eli Zero easy to drive?

The Eli Zero has automatic transmission and is designed to be easy to drive. It is a closed car with air conditioning, two side-by-side seats, airbags and disc brakes. A valid driver's license is required.
