Montreal is the second city in North America to develop carsharing after it began in 1995. Currently there are over 1100 cars in Montreal's carsharing system, including 400 electric vehicles and hybrids. If all personal cars in Montreal's metropolitan region were shared, it is estimated that 18-37% of vehicles, approximately 210,000-540,000 cars, could be eliminated. Households that use carsharing in Montreal drive their personal vehicles 4 times less and use bikes and transit more. The presentation proposes a plan to add 1000 electric vehicles to Montreal's carsharing fleet over the next 5 years and expand the public charging network.
