The new Honda Fit EV is parked at West Village Square, across the street from West Village’s other Zipcar, a Honda Insight, in front of the Hub Market. Both vehicles are available to all Zipcar members ages 18 and older for hourly reservations, starting at $8.50 per hour. Zipcar has had vehicles at UCD since 2009; the company has nearly 40 vehicles in approximately 20 locations throughout the greater Sacramento area. “As our West Village community reaches net zero building energy use, climate-warming carbon from vehicles in California still accounts for 40 percent of the carbon we emit,” said Daniel Sperling, founding director of UCD’s Institute of Transportation Studies.

“As our West Village community reaches net zero building energy use, climate warming carbon from vehicles in California still accounts for 40 percent of the carbon we emit,” said Daniel Sperling, founding director, UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. “Innovations like solar power to help generate the electricity needed to charge the EV, and fully zero emission car sharing moves us aggressively toward a sustainable future.”
