UK Firm Begins Rental of Electric Cars



Source: GoGo Electric Car Rentals
Class: PRESS RELEASE

SYNOPSIS: GoGo Electric Car Rentals hires out MegaCity four-passenger battery-powered cars.

This November 2009 welcomes the launch of new London company GoGo Electric Car Rentals, the very first in its field to offer Londoners fully propelled electric cars for short term rental. Exempt from the Congestion Charge, qualifying for free parking and free to re-charge, this Green fleet of environmentally conscious super cars is destined to become the red hot choice of the future.

From as little as £22 per day drivers can rent a four-seater GoGo electric car for anywhere between one and 28 days, much the same cost as its petrol guzzling competitors. The company’s fleet uses the Mega City, built in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, offering approximately 50 miles between re-charges and a top speed of 40mph. All GoGo Electric Car Rentals vehicles take around 6 hours to fully charge using a domestic plug, costing the consumer somewhere in the region of just 1.5p per mile. And let’s not forget the ultimate bonus: being able to re-charge and park free of charge across numerous London locations.

Stamping out the carbon footprint
In a recent statement, MD of GoGo Electric Car Rentals, Natalie Franklin, said: “The growing environmental concerns and the urgency to reduce our carbon footprint is the driving force behind this company, we’re designed with the customer in mind and there are numerous benefits for them and the environment”.

All cars at GoGo Electric Car Rentals are electric, meaning zero emissions. Even when taking into account the typical CO2 production of electricity supplies, it’s still lower than any conventional car on the road today. Unimaginable as it may seem, the fleet is also almost 100% recyclable, undoubtedly making them the most environmentally friendly vehicles you can hire. Not only are the vehicles Green, GoGo Electric Car Rentals promotes an environmentally considerate work ethic; using eco-friendly cleaning products, recycled paper and disposing of all recyclable waste in the correct manner. Even the breakdown service is eco-aware!

Gogo-electric.co.uk gives customers access to in-depth information and all booking requests are guaranteed to be acknowledged within 24 hours.

Across the UK approximately 35% of all our energy is consumed by transport. GoGo Electric Car Rentals acknowledges that travelling is an imperative part of our day-to-day life, and is convinced that electric cars are the way forward to globally reducing the environmental impact.

   electric cars are they way forward, when are manufacturers really going to realise this. The first company or entrepenuer who really sinks enough cash into electro motors is going to be the auto company of the future. Car hire companies, small freight companies and consumers are the ones who are going to be driving this market forward (poor pun not intended, but works).
