We Tried Out The French Electric Car-Sharing Service That's On Its Way To The US
Alex Davies / Business Insider
Inaugurated in December 2011, Autolib' offers its more than 65,000 members a fleet of nearly 2,000 electric Bolloré
And now the system is coming to the United States: The Bolloré Group announced in June it will bring 500
Autolib' works like most bike share programs. Users pay for a membership, with an additional cost depending on how much they drive. Autolib' memberships can last a day (10€), a week (15€), a month (30€), or a year (144€).
Once you've signed up, you can drive as often as you like. Just find an available car at a nearby station, drop it off wherever you find an open spot, and plug it in to charge.
You pay extra for each half hour you use a car (7€ for day members, 6€ for week and month-long members, and €5 for annual users).
We tried out the system with a company rep when we were in town for the Paris Air Show last month. While the cars themselves are far from amazing and have the limited range that's common in electric rides, they do the trick for getting around the city.
We're officially jealous of Indianapolitans.
