Car-sharing services have experienced rapid growth in membership and geographical coverage. In particular free-floating is the most successful model. However, according to literature and previous studies conducted by Poliedra, such services are successful mainly in densely populated areas, while in low-density areas is more difficult to develop economically sustainable services. Car sharing is considered to promote the expansion of electric vehicles market and it represents a way to have people get familiar with EV technology to mitigate range anxiety. Through this close-to-market project, I-SharE LIFE intend to demonstrate different successful new electric car sharing business models to be applied in small and medium cites.
