Originally published on RMI.org. By John Schroeder Electrifying transportation is crucial to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Unfortunately, early EVs and their charging infrastructure have been concentrated in wealthy areas — and have therefore not been broadly accessible. To make the EV transition more inclusive we must bring EV chargers to low-income … [continued]
Transportation network company (TNC) fleets, like Uber and Lyft in America, Didi in China, and Ola in India, may account for a relatively small share of the number of total automobiles on the road globally. But don’t let that fool you. Electrifying ridehailing has outsized potential to reduce emissions and catalyze electrification in other transportation sectors.
A dedicated electric vehicle fast-charging station network for GM’s Maven carsharing service is now slated to be developed by the charging solutions firm EVgo, company execs have revealed.
GM is sitting on something big with a healthy lead over most of its competition, but the landscape requires quick thinking and acting. The Bolt, Maven, and manufacturing might help the giant ride the next century.
As part of its rapid expansion in recent and coming days, the GM-owned carsharing service Maven will be expanding notably in the New York City area over the coming months, according to a press release from GM.
In anticipation of the growth of various types of freelance work over the coming years, GM will soon be expanding its carsharing service aimed at freelance workers. The service, dubbed “Maven Gig,” will reportedly launch in Los Angeles and San Francisco later this year. It’s already operational in San Diego.
The GM-owned carsharing service known as Maven has begun offering “rental/reservation” periods of up to 28 days at a time in the Los Angeles and San Francisco markets, according to recent reports.
With Chevy Bolt EV production now occurring at a large scale, GM has seemingly begun allocating more and more of the production to end points other than retail customers. Case in point: there was a recent announcement revealing that the Los Angeles branch of GM carsharing service Maven will be getting “more than 100” Chevy Bolt EVs.
GM’s carsharing service, Maven, has expanded into the Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Denver markets in recent days. The expansion means that the Maven carsharing service is now available in 13 different cities — the 3 aforementioned cities + Boston, Chicago, Jersey City (New Jersey), Baltimore, New York City, San Diego, Washington DC, Orlando (Florida), Detroit, and Ann Arbor (Michigan).
