Naples adopts carsharing scheme with the Renault Twizy

Naples has become the latest city to offer an all-electric carsharing scheme, with the Renault Twizy as its vehicle of choice.

 

Named "Bee", the initiative was launched on the 24th of June with a fleet of 40 Renault Twizys and 27 charging stations ("BeePoints") installed around town. By June 2014, the objective is to extend the service to 200 vehicles and 100 charging points, so that Neopolitans never have to walk more than five minutes to reach a Twizy.

 

Bee is a partnership between Renault and the eco-friendly service company NHP (NeaHelioPolis). To encourage locals to sign up in the first weeks, the annual subscription is just 30 euros instead of the usual 180 euros. Drivers then pay 15 cents per minute or around four euros for the average city journey. Alternatively, they can opt for a daily rate of 36 euros.
