Electric car sharing coming to Oslo, Norway

It's about to get a lot easier to drive a Th!nk City electric car. Residents of Oslo, Norway - and tourists - will soon (i.e., tomorrow) be able to participate in a new car sharing plan called Move About. As of May 27, Move About will start public car sharing with 13 electric vehicles at three locations in downtown Oslo. Michael Eimstad, Move About's managing director, told AutoblogGreen that the program will be open "to anybody with a driving licence, and is (as far as we know) the first of its kind in the world."

Move About currently runs two corporate car sharing services in Oslo and Gothenburg, Sweden, with futher expansion planned through Europe in the next few years.
