The club has taken delivery of nine Renault ZOEs and one Renault Kangoo van Z.E. for use by locals and visitors who now have the chance to see what it is like to drive an electric car.
They will be powered by much of the renewable energy generated by the Pentland Road Wind Farm on the island and will be available to hire for half an hour, an hour a day or even longer.
The idea is to demonstrate how electric cars can be just as at home in a rural environment as an urban one and how sharing may be the way forward for those who may not always need a car permanently.
Drivers who want to hire one of the E-car Club vehicles can do so at a variety of locations across Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis for only £5.50 an hour for the ZOE or £45 a day. The Kangoo van comes in at £7.50 and hour or £60 a day and power and insurance is included.
