Shared electric cars in Paris

When it comes to shared bicycles, I believe everyone is familiar with it. As an environmentally friendly and efficient service item, public bicycle rental has always been popular among people. In 2007, Paris began to implement a large-scale "Bicycle Freedom" plan. Today, the project is still making invaluable contributions to the city's smooth flow and environmental protection.
Because public bicycle rental has been welcomed by people, in 2011, the Paris city government took advantage of the victory to extend the bicycle rental service of "two" wheels to the field of "four" wheels, and launched the "Autolib" car sharing plan. Become the first city in the world to implement public electric vehicle rental services on a large scale. Parisians and even foreign tourists can rent shared electric cars for less than taking taxis. This kind of car 100% uses electric energy, has a silver-gray appearance, a simple internal structure, is stable and comfortable, and can accommodate four people. One electric car can replace 5 to 10 private cars. Citizens who rent such electric vehicles can drive an electric vehicle for only 10 euros (about 80 yuan) per hour. Just like renting a bicycle, when you arrive at your destination, connect the car to the charging pile and return the car.
In this way, the use of public electric vehicles is as convenient and flexible as shared bicycles, and the leasing procedures are also very simple. It saves the renter from many troubles such as paying gasoline, insurance premiums, taxes and maintenance costs. At the same time, the car battery uses lithium metal polymer, which can store 5 times more energy than ordinary batteries, and the car can travel 250 kilometers on a single charge. This kind of car is not only environmentally friendly, but also silent when starting, effectively reducing noise pollution in the city.
In order to make the city more beautiful, the city of Paris vigorously promotes public electric vehicle rental services. By the end of 2012, a coverage system with 1,100 rental stations and 3,000 electric vehicles has been built from downtown Paris to 45 surrounding suburban towns. By May 2012, about 16,000 passengers enjoyed the convenience brought by public electric vehicles, and the number is still increasing.
This reminds me of what Anick Lapedie, the deputy mayor of Paris, said, "Owning a car is outdated, and the future of urban transportation should be like this. People use electric cars together, which are environmentally friendly and energy-saving. The city is cleaner and better."
