THE E-CAR CLUB TEAM E-CAR MANAGEMENT SUPPORTED BY
Strategic advantage “E-Car Club is a scheme that kills three birds with one stone - congestion, cost and carbon. The environmental case for going electric is widely understood, but I wasn’t expecting the vehicles to be as sophisticated and refined as they are. Over the next few years, we have to make them even more commercially attractive to potential customers. So it’s inspiring to see a business like E-Car Club, which was only set up a couple of years ago, doing so much to promote ultra-low emission vehicles.” Baroness Kramer, Minister of State for Transport, Poplar Launch “May I personally congratulate you and the team involved in this highly innovative first for London, which directly contributes to the delivery of many of my priorities: improving London’s air quality and quality of life, London being the electric vehicle capital of Europe, and enabling Londoners to access new jobs and opportunities.” Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, October 2013
