Love this, hopefully more people will follow suit & do their part for a greener planet by sharing their cars. Sharing is caring ⚡️🚙 ☘️

Could not have put it better myself - amazing thread 👏🙏
I've long hated the CAC/LTV framework (particularly for consumer businesses). Because it’s so tied with creating a structural dependency on Google & Facebook it isn’t only a poor framework, it can lull you into mediocrity. My raw notes over the years of addressing this topic:
1
It’s happening 💥 😊
Three quarters of a million EVs now on UK roads, but car ownership falls for second year

We've officially launched @BlenheimPalace car club alongside the Woodstock closed group. It was great to see so many local people interested in sharing out their cars. Huge kudos to the team at Blenheim for leading the way with car sharing in their community. Amazing

Very insightful report by the fantastic team @Como_uk - car sharing really, really does make a positive difference to our communities and environment.

Really exciting, especially for me personally as I spent many cold, wet nights training @FavershamTownFC as a young man @SwaleCouncil leading the way in Medway, shared cars are the way forward. Most of our drivers would BUY a car, if it wasn't for having access to a car on-demand
We’re bringing Swale’s first car club trial to Faversham swale.gov.uk/news-and-your-c… Starting next month, @hiyacar will run the 3-year trial giving members convenient access to cleaner vehicles, without the expense and hassle of ownership, for as little as £3 per hour.

Nice to see @hiyacar on the BBC yesterday, wireless charging should help enable more people move from petrol to Electric cars, obviously sharing that car helps save our planet too youtube.com/watch?v=_pYJjweT…

Hiring a car and want to share the drive with your friend, family member or partner? Now you can! Hiyacar members can now add an ‘additional driver’ (must be a verified hiyacar driver) to their rental and get on their way, stress-free. Find out more - bit.ly/3yKhqGW

It's been amazing supporting this trial & seeing lots of local people using these shared electric cars. Replacing 32m ICE cars with 32 million electric cars is NOT the way forward. Sharing electric 🚙is the way forward & charging infrastructure like this is a huge enabler 💪👏⚡️
'Transport is currently the biggest single source of climate-warming emissions. One of the UK’s first trials to test wireless electric car charging technology is underway in Buckinghamshire. East of England reporter Amelia Harper has the latest.

Wondering if the ULEZ expansion, in operation from today, will affect you as a hiyacar driver or owner? We’ve put together the answers to any questions you might have about the changes -hiyacar.co.uk/blog/2021-ulez… #hiyacar #ULEZ #carshare #drivinginLondon

Super cool to see Emily’s idea really take off. Kudos to Emily & her local community who’ve decided to take action and actively looking to reduce car ownership & be more connected to their neighbours.
Interested in learning more about closed loop neighbourhood car sharing? We spoke to Emily Kerr of @shareourcars who are currently utilising hiyacar's platform to run their own closed loop car sharing network. bit.ly/3AKyRGw #hiyacar #carsharing #communitycarshare
