With thousands of electric vehicles in our fleet, and a vision to be fully electric by 2025! We want all our members to come over to the green side to enjoy a more sustainable and exciting way to drive - electric, affordable, and hassle-free. 

James Taylor, General Manager of Zipcar UK says: "Sustainability is at the heart of all we do, which is why our vision is to be fully electric by 2025. The British public is behind the transition to electric vehicles yet not everyone has the chance to own one. It’s important that everyone has access to zero-emission transport as switching to shared EVs is a crucial and affordable step we can take to help protect our environment and keep our air clean and our solar system visible.[...]We’ve partnered with astronomer, Tom Kerss, to highlight the importance of keeping our air clean and to showcase the magnificent starry sites that are possible when we have less vehicle pollution.”
