Zen Car: Brussels launches electric vehicle sharing scheme

The company Zen Car and the Société Régionale d'Investissement de Bruxelles have just announced a partnership to set up an electric car sharing scheme in the Belgian capital as of March. The project could be supported by the state.

29 cars will be put into circulation; charging will be possible at around fifteen parking spaces in the centre, the east and the south of the city. Reservations are as easy as 1,2,3, with both online and telephone services open 24-7.

Drivers interested in the Zen Car will have to pay certain fees: €40 joining fees, a €6 monthly subscription and an hourly rate of €7 regardless of the distance covered, to use the car (at current rates, around £34, £5, and £5.80, respectively).
