San Pedro

The geographic location of Rancho San Pedro and infrequent public transit makes it difficult for residents to connect to the City of Los Angeles and neighboring communities. The EV car share provides a zero emission transportation option to the community that has already culturally accepted concepts of carpooling and car-sharing informally.

Goals:

  • Prove replicable and sustainable program model with dynamic membership rates plans that identify market price points for EV car share adoption and operational break-even.
  • Accessibility and inclusiveness addressed with alternative payment options for the unbanked population.
    • Insights into most effective community outreach methods compared across EV car share pilots.
