electric cars as a "breakthrough" of car sharing?

The current debate seems to electrically driven vehicles and the imagination in terms of car sharing to inspire massive. This is especially clear in the article "The city of short distances is always energized" . With Andreas knee and Weert Canzler deliver two for the car sharing old friends (again) a visionary picture of how electric cars environmentally friendly mobility "induce" could. At last, modern, flexible and free from ownership of the vehicle (meaning both car and bicycle) ride around the people spontaneously. Although car sharing (and the concerted use of car) plays a central role in the scenario, play "classic" car-sharing providers do not matter. Rather, the new players like DB, Daimler, RWE, etc. are discussed as promoters of the new mobility.

As coordinator of this new Mobility Age to see the authors or the WZB a bit more even, presumably with the DB Call-a-bike and DB Carsharing as a central practice partner.

On one point, you can toggle the authors agree / fully Canzler. It takes courage to to establish ownership without mobility services. Who has the courage and such offers will bring forward, but is still completely open. What is certain is that the classic car clubs, electric cars will not ignore. Already in the past, the German car-sharing accessible early there when it came to new types of drives. bring

Whether electric cars in general the car sharing to the front, is certainly a different question. If you look at the business models look abroad, that much more likely to lease vehicles. A nice addition is the current articles "money with the electric car as a power storage" . to earn money with a car lying around, an interesting idea.

A little more overview on the topic of electric vehicles and vehicle manufacturers and the background is the interview "... the sign of the times finally recognized" by Amory Lovins . It is clear that in the visions of the electric car players, the actual use of the car is only a small component. Instead, put a vision of decentralized electricity storage may with great opportunities for decentralized and environmentally friendly power production behind the electric car.

for Carsharing not unimportant: whether this operation will be made exclusively by the Great, and the specialist has not been identified. Small, flexible, innovative companies and opportunities these changes to use. Why is the "classic" car-sharing companies should not be significant innovators.
