Have you ever considered jumping off the vehicle ownership bandwagon? In place of driving their own cars, trucks, or SUVs, an increasing number of urban dwellers are searching for hassle-free ways to move around without the stresses of parking, gassing up, and, of course, vehicle maintenance. As more people prioritize sustainability and convenience, EV car sharing has emerged as the future trend in transportation… But does it really live up to the hype? Learn more about why EV car sharing is the future, why more forward-thinking properties and businesses are adopting it, and how you can get started in offering sustainable mobility as a luxury amenity.

Renting a car has long been the go-to solution for travelers and urban commuters. But as many have realized, there are many downsides to traditional car rental arrangements. Among them are excessive paperwork and waiting times. Let’s also not forget how high fuel prices can bleed over to how much you’d have to pay in per-mile charges and service costs. Because of these inconveniences, there’s a growing demand for sustainable and convenient transportation. EV car sharing fits these descriptions to a tee. With EV car sharing, travelers and commuters can enjoy on-demand access to vehicles at their property whenever they need one. Due to this level of convenience, it’s now being branded as the next big thing in sustainable luxury urban mobility.

EV car sharing is an on-demand transportation option providing drivers with immediate vehicle access. This means that drivers can reserve vehicles through concierges (or in our case, an app) minus all the hassles in traditional rentals. And for those catering to an eco-friendly crowd, EV car sharing outshines traditional car rentals because of the availability of luxury electric vehicles. As a result, it’s a hit among travelers and tenants who want to move about without adding to the already elevated level of urban emissions. Because of their reduced reliance on gas, EV car-sharing services can make fees more affordable for drivers. For instance, at Envoy, we offer pay-as-you-go arrangements, meaning drivers only pay for the time used—no more, no less.

EV car sharing outperforms traditional car rentals in several ways, including:

• Sustainability: EV car sharing provides users access to electric vehicles that generate little to no emissions and alleviate urban congestion.
• Technology Integration: Many providers have integrated EV car-sharing services with apps, providing you and your tenants or guests with immediate vehicle access at the tap of a button.
• Flexibility: Tired of paying for daily rates when you’re only using a rental car for an hour? EV car sharing allows drivers to pay only for the miles they use with a pay-as-you-go structure.

EnvoyThere is a cut above the rest with our fleet of luxury EVs and charging infrastructure. We have multiple decentralized charging hubs and on-street charging locations to ensure every EV reserved has a full battery to take drivers wherever they want to go. Here’s the best part: By nominating your property, you’ll be able to offer EV car sharing to your tenants or guests. You’re providing transportation, but you’re also offering mobility as your building’s amenity—just as hundreds of properties across the country have.

As a property owner or developer, you’ll experience the following advantages when you offer EV car share mobility as an amenity:

• An Attractive and Unique Cutting-Edge Amenity: You’ll easily stand out in the eyes of prospective eco-conscious tenants and guests with EV vehicles as one of your building’s amenities.
• Higher Property Value and Meeting Sustainability Goals: Hit two birds with one stone by adding EV mobility as an amenity they can use often and feel good about.
• Simplifying Transportation: Say goodbye to long lines in your lobbies and side streets. EV car sharing gives drivers on-demand, app-based access to minimize wait times and hassles.

Here are some of the benefits you can promise them:

• EV-Driving Perks Minus the Responsibilities: Drive luxury EVs without having to worry about per-mile costs, daily charges, maintenance, and car ownership.
• Reduced Environmental Impact: No emissions, no problem. EV cars are low-emission alternatives.
• Convenience: A fully charged EV can be at your service with just a tap on the Envoy app.

As more properties decide to offer mobility as an amenity, the future is bright for EV car sharing. Adoption will only grow with further enhancements in technology and charging structure availability. At Envoy, we stay at the forefront of these developments. As the leading EV car-sharing company in the US, we’re changing how property owners and developers see EV cars — one property at a time.
