In an effort to increase awareness in San Francisco, Zipcar has tied up with the city of San Francisco to deliver a pilot program for plug-in hybrid vehicles in its Bay Area fleet. Zipcar showcased the converted Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid at a special charging station across the street from City Hall.
Zipcar is supporting the Mayor’s drive to increase the awareness and use of electric vehicles (EVs), while also providing a convenient, cost-effective solution to consumer transportation needs. Zipcar’s legacy of offering clean cars dates back to 2003, when it was the first commercial fleet to widely introduce hybrids in Seattle.
“Zipcar encourages sustainable lifestyles in several ways — fewer personally owned cars, less driving overall, and now the addition of these super efficient plug-in cars,” said Mark Norman, President and Chief Operating Officer of Zipcar. “Our members strongly support the notion of adding next-generation clean cars, and this program is an important first step in exploring the potential.”
