- book and rent an EV by the hour
- unlock, start and drive the EV via an app on your smartphone
- no fees – no keys – just book, pay and drive

Below is the project information that has culminated in the new EV Car Hire Club being launched.
Overview
An Electric Vehicle (EV) Hire Club has the potential to bring substantial environmental benefits to Thame and Haddenham, accelerating the adoption of cleaner, less polluting vehicles on the roads, reducing carbon footprint for users, less car ownership (with reduced need for parking spaces), and encouraging people to reflect on their personal choices (eg the need to own a first and/or second car). In addition, it could provide substantial cost savings to individuals. Successful EV Hire Clubs are already established in a number of areas, including Hook Norton, Derwent Valley, Weardale Community Transport and Rose Hill.
Objectives
- To establish a simple to operate EV hire club for Thame and Haddenham areas to run through a local existing vehicle hire company
- The club needs to be self-funding and have an online booking system
Where we are at
It has been agreed that the first EV Hire Club car pickup location will be at the Thame Barns Centre.
The lines and signs are already in place and the first car is ready to go.
