Car-sharing scheme takes off
Print Edition
THE country’s first electric car-sharing program officially got under way yesterday at Shanghai International Auto City, following a trial last year.
More than 3,000 people have already subscribed to the EVCARD system, which lets them rent electric cars from 50 outlets in Jiading District. A smartcard and a smartphone app are used to make bookings and payments.
The scheme currently makes use of 350 Roewe E50 electric cars — provided by SAIC Motors — though the fleet is set to grow to 2,000 with the introduction of Zinoro 1E and Springo models from BMW Brilliance and Shanghai General Motors respectively.
The EVCARD program is designed to promote the car-sharing concept in Shanghai, which its organizers hope will help to ease traffic congestion in the city, officials said.
