Electric carsharing service starts
A new company offers battery-powered city car in Prague 1 and 2
A carsharing project for electric cars has launched in Prague. The company Re.volt has electric cars that can be rented through a smartphone app
Re.volt technical director, Martin Matoušek told the press that the service was simple to use and would bring “a real revolution in carsharing.” The name is also a pun as volt refers to electric batteries.
The Re.volt cars are constantly monitored, and when the battery gets below a 30 percent charge it goes into a power saving mode, and a technician will come and change the battery. This should not happen when the car is not being rented, so users should not notice the change
Re.volt's Matoušek said that now the challenge was to made the idea work logistically and financially.
The project is already ahead of the founder's expectations. “Originally, we wanted to find a couple of testers at the beginning, at least 20. In the end, almost 650 people registered. That surpassed our expectations. The feedback means we are going in the right direction,” co-founder Pavel Kuchta said
This is not the first carsharing service in Prague, but the first to use electric cars of this type. Prague City Hall supports the idea of carsharing as a way to reduce traffic in the city and has allowed cars from carsharing services to use parking zones for residents.
