Car sharing, as the public transport, develops the market of electric vehicles in Europe. Despite the small penetration of electric vehicles in the car sharing fleet, electric cars will be more and more every year.

 

According to statements made by one of Europe's largest car sharing, car2go, which belongs to Daimler, there are 5 main reasons why it will give the points of development of electric transport in Europe.

 

These 5 reasons:

1. Car sharing solves the problem of "eggs and chicken" in electric cars, namely: the cities of Europe understand and know about the advantages of electric vehicles, but do not invest in the infrastructure of charging stations. This infrastructure is necessary for the car sharing, because in case of development of the car sharing, the charging stations will also develop.
2. Car sharing, reduces people's opinion about the negatives of electric mobility. The offer of electric cars in the car sharing allows people to use the car without the extra obligations of buying a car.
3. Car sharing shows that electric cars can be used for movement with high intensity, which debunks the myths of people who do not want to experience new technology by themselves.
4. Ecology – electro cars improve it for the city. Clients of the car sharing company in 3 cities: Madrid, Stuttgart and Amsterdam traveled more than 63 million electric kilometers, which is more than 1600 times around the earth.
5. Car electrification is an excellent ground for testing new technologies with the help of real people who can share their impressions.
