The program is operated by the Eastside Community Network and funded through the U.S. Department of Energy.
A new service from the Eastside Community Network (ECN) is bringing affordable electric car-sharing to the east side of Detroit, reports Ethan Bakuli.
The vehicles can be rented for short periods from the Network’s community hub. “ECN is one of three host sites in Detroit for the Affordable Mobility Platform, a national EV carsharing project run by Forth and Mobility Development that aims to expand access to electric vehicles for underserved communities across the country.”
Unlike other, more expensive car-sharing programs, the ECN program offers cars for $5 per hour or $50 per day, including insurance and is funded through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technology Office.
