From the widespread adoption of electric vehicles and the proliferation of charging stations to increased demand from cities for reduced car usage, the built environment is undergoing a generational transformation. Envoy, an electric car sharing provider that was recently acquired by EV charging company Blink Charging, is working with both cities and private property owners to facilitate this transition to saner vehicle usage. We spoke with Aric Ohaha, President of Blink Mobility and co-founder of Envoy Technologies, Drew Hopkins, Chief Operating Officer at Envoy Technologies, and Mike Battaglia, Chief Operating Officer at Blink Charging, about how their firm is helping bring the new world of personal transportation to life. “The Future Will Be Electrified, and Sharing is Going to Be a Big Part of That” Envoy’s electric car sharing program addresses a host of underlying issues with cars and how we’ve historically used them. First and foremost is the built-in inefficiency of cars as a primary means of transportation. Cars are “expensive assets that sit for 95% of their life,” says Ohana. “You use your bed more than you use your car.” Additionally, relying on individually-owned cars impacts how we develop properties, primarily the constant need for more and more parking spaces. “The way it works now, you really need to develop three parking spaces for every car,” explains Hopkins.
