Business Carsharing Models: History & UnderstandingSusan Shaheen
This document provides an overview of business carsharing models and their history. It defines business carsharing as enabling commercial businesses to reduce or eliminate private vehicle fleets typically maintained for business purposes. The first business carsharing program began in 1995 in the Netherlands. Today, most carsharing programs in North America have a corporate carsharing component. Global surveys found the business market to be the second most profitable carsharing market segment after neighborhood roundtrip programs. Case studies on business travelers and a British B2B carsharing program provide additional details on usage and impacts.
This document discusses the current and future state of electric vehicle (EV) car sharing. It notes that while some Canadian car sharing fleets have started to integrate EVs, the numbers are still limited. There are valid concerns about the higher acquisition costs of EVs and lack of public charging infrastructure. However, as car sharing continues to grow and more affordable EVs with longer ranges become available, integrating EVs into fleets presents an opportunity. Critical factors for success include strong municipal and car sharing company support, investments in public charging infrastructure, member education, and financial incentives to reduce costs. The document points to Montreal's goal of a 1,000 EV car sharing fleet as an example to follow.
