Electric Vehicle Hire Club Launch!

Published: 01 December 2022

The Haddenham Electric Vehicle (EV) Hire Club officially launches this Saturday 3 December 2022!

A stall will be inside Haddenham Village Hall between 9am and 1pm on Saturday 3 December, to coincide with the monthly Vale Harvest Market, for those interested in seeing the car and finding out more.

What is the EV Hire Club?

The hire club allows members to book and drive a car when they need it.

An electric car is based in a designated spot outside Haddenham Village Hall and can be hired from as little as an hour up to seven days.

There are no membership fees, members simply pay for the car by the hour.

Members can book, unlock and drive the car quickly and conveniently via a phone app.

The hire club is a joint initiative, operated by local vehicle hire firm 3B in collaboration with Haddenham Parish Council and Haddenham Village Hall, who have provided the charging facilities and the parking space. Zero Carbon Haddenham have also been instrumental in setting up the scheme.

Why join?

Save money! The average car in the UK is parked for nearly 96% of the time and costs over £3,500 per year to run. Families often find themselves paying thousands to keep a second car on the road when in practice it is rarely used.

By joining the Hire Club, members can drive a clean, modern electric vehicle, with no tailpipe emissions and no need to worry about tax, insurance, servicing, MOTs, or depreciation.

Cleaner air and less emissions! Over their whole life cycle, electric cars are responsible for far fewer carbon emissions than their petrol or diesel equivalents. Shared vehicles take carbon savings to another level, as they have the potential to replace 20 privately owned cars. The result is a huge saving in manufacturing emissions.

Saving money and cutting your carbon footprint, what more could you ask?

How to join?

If you think the Hire Club could work for you, visit the stall on Saturday 3 December to find out more and join the club, or visit 3B’s website to sign-up!
