Recommendation 30

Car clubs may make a limited but important contribution to the EV transition, and constitute an important part of a broader modal shift in transport use. While private car ownership will likely remain the default mode of car use for some time, for those who require occasional car use they present a more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative. Car sharing will likely become increasingly significant as the Government looks to legislate for the future of autonomous vehicles. We welcome the credit for car club vehicles included in the ZEV mandate. To support car clubs further, the rollout of chargepoints must be accelerated. We discuss this further in Chapter 4.
