AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE CAR CLUB
“The E-Car booking system (which provides members with a live charge
reading) has been very important in making sure that a first time user’s
experience of an electric car is positive. Under the car club model turning up
to a car and there being insufficient charge for your journey can be very
damaging to the electric car experience. With many pre-misconceptions
around electric cars, the E-Car Team is doing a great job in educating the
local community that they operate in.”
