Many cities and communities have installed electric vehicle charging stations.  However, few vehicles are in the market to currently use them. Consumers are reluctant to purchase EVs without a reliable charging network and auto companies are reluctant to produce vehicles without a network.

The creation of the Greenville EV Ecosystem supports a charging network along with introduction of vehicles into the marketplace for users to drive, on both a short term basis, and mid-term rentals, to see if an EV can meet the needs of their business or lifestyle.

Enterprise has deployed EV vehicles at the Downtown Buncombe Street location for regular rentals and at the Greenville Spartanburg Airport for visitors to use.  A number of companies have also committed to six month test use of vehicles in their fleets.  GE in cooperation with Thursopower and building owners, has deployed an extensive network of vehicle changing stations in addition to the existing charging stations in the Downtown City garages.

Also, Enterprise has launched a pilot of its WeCar Program in Downtown Greenville using EVs.  The vehicles are located at the Poinsett Garage at the McBee entrance. There is a Chevy Volt and a Nissan Leaf.  WeCar is a membership-based car sharing program for people who are looking for an alternative method of transportation that lowers the cost and reduces the hassles of traditional transportation.  Users only pay for the hours used and the rate includes all maintenance and insurance.
