“Electric mobility has the potential to significantly change the mobility sector. However, further
development is required in order for it to realize its full potential. It will only become sustainably
popular if the technology passes the “everyday use test” and also impresses customers.
Carsharing is a huge step ahead in the advancement of electric mobility compared with privately
owned vehicles. Carsharing benefits from a unique amount of knowledge gained from the everyday
use of large electric fleets. Hence, car2go is partner to a wide range of companies that are researching
the field of electric mobility – whether they make batteries more efficient, develop infrastructure or
make the technology more “clever”.
With the experience from the last years and the expertise gained through being the global market
leader, car2go already supports many areas of electric mobility. Charging stations must be available in
sufficient numbers and also be positioned in the right places in order to ideally fulfill their purpose.
Batteries not only have to function, they also must pass the hardest practical trials. Perhaps most
importantly, drivers must have the chance to easily experience electric mobility for themselves.
The prerequisite for this is an “overall system of electric mobility,” which understands purely electric
driving to be an interaction of a variety of components – from the battery to the electricity network,
charging infrastructure and undeniably positive customer experience.”
