HOURCAR's Solar PHEV sharing begins

Clean, green car sharing

Minneapolis based HOURCAR is now offering two plug-in hybrid vehicles that utilize solar power to recharge their batteries. Thus, HOURCAR's 650+ members can reserve these plug-in hybrids and burn nothing but solar powered electricity for the first 30 - 40 miles.

Car sharing is a great idea, and solar powered plug-in hybrids make car sharing even better. For urbanites with access to quality public transportation, car sharing could reduce the need to own a car, or to at least drop down to one car.

Now that's out of the box thinking.
