Car2go chose the southern California city to launch their first all-electric U.S. Car sharing fleet - bringing in 300 Smart ForTwo electric drives for rental.

Car2go was quick to recognize that grants from the U.S. Department of Energy were already helping to install hundreds of charging stations in the San Diego area. That made it the perfect spot for an E.V. car sharing fleet.

NICHOLAS COLE: When you look at car sharing in providing this transportation to a large group of individuals in a city center, the next logical step is let’s provide emissions-free transportation.

With San Diego’s E.V. car sharing a likely success, Car2go is hoping to have their fleets plug into other American cities soon.
