Electric version of ZipCar in Baltimore
Wouldn’t this be cool to have in Atlanta? An electric version of the car-sharing service that ZipCar already offers here?
The Canadian company Electrovaya is showcasing 10 of its electric vehicles in Baltimore:
The nation’s first all-electric car-sharing program debuted Tuesday at the city’s Inner Harbor, with manufacturer Electrovaya hoping urban residents seeking to go green and curious tourists will take the concept for a spin.
Electrovaya Inc. is offering its Maya 300 for rent at the Maryland Science Center. The car can go up to 120 miles (193 kilometers) on one charge of its lithium-ion battery system, and it gets its juice from a regular 110-volt outlet.
I’ve always thought that Atlanta should’ve built an incredible transportation museum, commemorating all the planes, trains and automobiles that the city was built upon, but also dedicating to showcasing and researching green transportation. (To me, it made much more sense in this city than the aquarium, but Bernie Marcus never listened!)
It would’ve been the perfect starting gate for electric-car sharing.
