Benefits
If you drive less than 6,000 miles a year, you’ll save money and reduce your environmental impact by using e-cocars.
Consider This:
Driving in Devon costs approximately 50 pence per mile, which adds up to around £3,000 per year for the average driver.
Let’s add these common expenses:
- £150 per month for vehicle finance or purchase,
- £50+ per month for insurance and tax,
- £50 to fill the tank with fuel,
- £250 for maintenance.
That’s at least £250 per month, not including depreciation, parking, or unexpected costs.
Compare that to e-cocars, where members typically spend £50-100 per month for everything – car, parking, insurance, and fuel included.
Convenient – A Short Walk to Your Car
Need to pick up something heavy from Refurnish? No problem.
We have a small fleet of e-cocars in Totnes. You can see the car models and where they’re located here.
Our aim is to place an e-cocar in every neighborhood where it’s needed, so accessing a car is as simple as a short walk from your home.
With e-cocars, convenience is key—you’re never far from a vehicle when you need one.
Affordable – Cheaper Than Owning
In a car club, the costs of insurance, maintenance, MOT, and repairs are shared. The RAC estimates that owning and running an average car costs between £2,500 and £3,500 per year.
With e-cocars, you can avoid those high costs. We charge £5 per hour, plus mileage at 25p per kilometre (40p per mile). You get all the benefits of car use without the financial burden of ownership.
Save money while still having access to a reliable vehicle when you need it.
Reliable – A Car When You Need It
All e-cocars can be booked online and accessed with your smartcard or phone. The car will be waiting in its designated spot, fully maintained and ready to go.
As an e-cocars member, you have the freedom to choose the best mode of transport for each journey. No need to feel tied to a car sitting outside, costing you money in insurance, MOT, and repairs. With e-cocars, you only use a car when you actually need one.
On a sunny day, why not take the train, bus, walk, or bike? Show others how easy it is to break the car ownership habit.
We believe that sharing cars is a practical step towards reducing our dependence on carbon fuels.
