Operations: Sharing Systems
|
Vertical Divider
The emergence of modern technologies (such as Global Positioning System - GPS coupled with mobile software applications), improvements in battery technologies, as well as the increasing inclination towards shared economies, have contributed to the proliferation of electric vehicle (EV) sharing systems. Sharing schemes have largely been operating in European countries but have also recently become popular in other regions, including the United States, Latin American, Africa and Asia. In recent times, a good number of small projects across these regions have demonstrated that there is potential for electric mobility hinged on sharing modes. It is however crucial that cities lay down the necessary policy, technical and infrastructural considerations including charging infrastructure and associated business models in order to sustain the deployment of shared EVs in cities. Doing this will help implementing cities derive maximum positive impacts of electric vehicles which are providing more affordable and sustainable mobility alternatives and are helping in the fight against local air pollution and global climate change.
