When insurance, gas, repairs and maintenance are included, the total cost of owning a vehicle has risen more than 40 percent since January 2020.

It’s not just the gas prices.

Check out @hourcar for affordable wheels.

Hypothetical cheap self driving cars can’t replace public transit ability to use space efficiently in dense cities. Technology never changes geometry.

What they can do, as an idea, is undermine political support for public transit.

For that, they don’t even need to exist.

@MayorCarter gives a big shout out to @eviecarshare at the @FreshEnergy #FreshBreakfast:

If you live in Saint Paul, you own a fleet of EVs that you can use.

Powerful @USTreasury guidance today adds #ChargingUsForward principles to the #EVCharging tax credit. #EnvironmentalJustice communities deserve equitable access to #EVCharging.

We're proud to be part of the @CHARGEUSfwd coalition that got it done.

What is the GGRF going to mean on the ground? Projects like the new fossil-free district energy system at The Heights on the east side of Saint Paul, MN financed by Minnesota's new "green bank". https://t.co/HgWEM3mxkX Thousands of these kinds of projects, all over the country!

Important project by @RamseyCounty. Shout-out to @hourcar for making it possible for people to use @eviecarshare vehicles at no cost for heat mapping.

"There are federal goals to 'reduce congestion' but none relating to 'increasing accessibility,' so agencies seeking to incorporate accessibility analyses must go above and beyond federal reporting requirements to do so." @SmartTransp

Great news for Minnesotans who want an e-bike.

Also great news for Minnesotans who *don't* want an e-bike, since they''ll enjoy cleaner air, safer streets, and freed-up parking spaces.

[Evie Carshare @eviecarshare]

Meet Parker. Not only does Evie's flexibility provide the benefits Parker needs, but it's also encouraged him to buy electric for his next car. "They are super spacious and perform better than an ICE vehicle" Learn more about Parker and @XcelEnergyMN: https://t.co/LOhkzPB131
