The vehicles are being offered to the car sharing scheme’s 33,000 members in the San Diego area, which covers 45 square miles.

‘San Diego is fast becoming the nation's electric vehicle capital, and with the largest electric carsharing fleet in the nation, we are proud to continue our commitment in preserving the local environment of our great city,’ said car2go San Diego Location Manager, Will Berry.  ‘The new 2014 vehicles, while maintaining the zero-emissions footprint, have a much smoother acceleration, and overall, a more comfortable car2go driving experience that our members will truly enjoy.’

The move follows the recent launch of an upgraded app feature in its iOS and Android applications that allows members to not only search for and reserve a car2go vehicle, but begin their car2go trip via their smartphones.
