Since January 2012, Communauto has a fleet of self-serve electric vehicles available to all. If you are already a subscriber, you can use them once you have completed the online training on Réservauto. For the others, you simply need to subscribe at www.communauto.com to take advantage of this new 100% electric technology at a low-cost.



Why self-service electric vehicles?

There are many advantages to integrating electric vehicles to a self-service automobile fleet:

  • Communauto has a network of charging stations, which allows residents of dense areas to access the electric car.
  • Communauto has affordable prices starting from $1.87 per hour of driving and $0.39 per kilometre.
  • Communauto has the right car for the every type of trip - electric for short-distance trips, gasoline for long-distance trips.

But especially because:

  • Communauto is a service with an environmental and social mission which helps reduce the number of and use of vehicles, should they be electric or gasoline.

Who is able to use the vehicles?
All Communauto subscribers. This is what makes the project particularly interesting. Thanks to the program, a large pool of people (to date, nearly 25 000 subscribers) have the opportunity to test and use the 100% electric technology.
