Already a system is currently going up in Indianapolis, where you can
"share" an electric car--dropping it off at one of numerous designated

Oh, good grief, that's dumb! What's the cost of that?


Two possibilities
1. http://www.zipcar.com/
2. Buy shares, just as aircraft owners often do.

If you're an OCCAISIONAL user of the appliance, it sometimes makes
sense to lease it. If the taxpayer gets involved, it makes sense more
often.

Works for the occasional user, not the daily commuter.

That's what it's being sold as here. ...just grab one from the pool
and drive off - not going to work.



And apparently you still have to reserve the zipcar.

What I *don't* need is a time-share car. ;-)



I don't see the advantage to a regular rental car other than not having
to be fill it for the next person.

Except that you do.


You only have to fill it, according to the web site, if the tank goes
below 1/4. You do not pay for gas separately, it is included in the
hourly price of renting along with insurance.
