Plug-in hybrid HOURCARs enable zero-emissions driving
powered by renewable solar energy

HOURCAR has announced that its two plug-in hybrid vehicles will now be powered by the sun. HOURCAR, a program of the nonprofit Neighborhood Energy Connection (NEC), is the first car-sharing operator in the world to offer solar-powered recharging. Solar-powered recharging stations will provide electricity to HOURCAR hubs located at Saint Paul’s Mississippi Market Natural Foods Co-Op and Minneapolis’ 46th Street Hiawatha light rail station. Each solar charge will provide enough emissions-free electricity to power the vehicles for trips of 30 to 40 miles.
