Purpose of the company and the idea for the service is to offer an eco-innovative, affordable alternative for car ownership reducing the traffic congestion and pollution challenges in cities. We offer Electric Vehicles (EVs) to those that are concerned of the global warming and air quality and do not wish to own a private car due to costs and the amount of work it takes to maintain and own it, especially in a city. Our service meets the needs that are global and match those of urban city planning and smart city projects in Finland and globally.
All members behind EkoRent, founders and management, owners and investors, are profoundly concerned of the state of the nature and wish to do their share on improving the situation yet recognizing that the change has to be done in economically viable manner.
Our first full month of commercial operations was January 2015.
