Harbury Energy Initiative launches “e-Wheels” to respond to rural crises

Tomorrow (22/08/2015), the E-Car Team are heading to Abington Street, Northampton to display a couple of our recently deployed Northampton vehicles to the public and give away some fantastic offers on joining and free hours, as well as some great merchandise too! If you weren't already aware, we have recently expanded our locations in Northamptonshire from one location to four; giving great connectivity across the county with our fleet of new, high-spec electric vehicles, offering low-cost, sustainable travel for the whole community. The vehicles are available to hire for as little as one hour, or up to several days at a time and cost just £5.50 per hour, or £45 for a 24 hour booking. This includes power and insurance, and we are available to insure people as young as 19.

Trust drives forward with electric car sharing scheme

A member recently joined E-Car Club at our newest hub in Harbury, Warwickshire and after a few bookings felt confident enough to take a Renault ZOE on a 200 mile round trip to Sheffield. The range of the ZOE is 60-80 miles so this obviously required a few stops en route, utilising the Ecotricity Network of rapid chargers which the member easily accessed (for free) with the Charge Cards provided in all of our vehicles.

On Wednesday 13th May at 6pm Harbury Energy Initiative will launch its fleet of two electric cars for community use with E-Car Club. This will be the culmination of 9 months of work beginning with an application to the Carplus Car Club Challenge, funded by the department for Transport in autumn 2014.

We’re pleased to announce that we have just deployed ten vehicles into St Andrews, Fife- our biggest ever single deployment of vehicles and first ever in Scotland.
