The City of Lights Goes Electric!




Ahh, the unforgettable city of love...the most romantic city of them all: the one, the only, Paris. While the Parisians are busy loving each other, their cars are busy loving our earth through the new innovative electric car sharing program soon to be launched.

Come September of next year, Paris hopes to capitalize on the success of its bike sharing program with a similar plan called Autolib, which would replace bicycles with electric vehicles.

How it will work is that available electric cars will be stored in both parking garages as well as the street as part of a partnership between Autolib and the city of Paris. Although prices on the program have yet to be set, the company promises that it will cost significantly less per year than owning a car in the city.

With over four thousand cars currently being manufactured, Parisians all around their enchanting city will be loving themselves, each other and, above all, our earth. Have YOU helped save the world today?
