Reliant on costly imported fuel
Lack of public transport
High number of cars
GO-EV Electric Vehicles
Low carbon alternative
Prime location – 15km roads
Boost the Islands’ green credentials
Car usage without having to own a car
The Innovation
Test Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology with a car share scheme
Store and discharge energy back into the grid during peak demand
Using renewable energy sources when possible
Car Share Scheme
25 charging points, solar canopies
10 car share -15 general use
Residents and local business only
Pay per use, return to base
Mixture of vehicles
Booking via app/web

6. Business Opportunities
GO-EV Car Share
Car share scheme
