I live on the east coast and I am staring to see a fair number of charging stations in garages. So far it's mostly for corporate cars but I have been thinking Car sharing services could be well served by going electric. They generally own the parking space, the car is moving short distances, but while plugging them in is easy refilling the tank is something of a pain. It's probably not a huge market but selling say 5k cars per year to that market seems vary doable with the added bonus that initial costs are less important.


Car2go, which is part of Daimler, is doing this in some cities with their Smart-car car sharing program (some cities use both electric and gas Smart cars). Tesla technology is in the Smart EV's.
