Bad traffic, decent public transport, easy access to ridesharing services such as Uber, prohibitive rego costs and damage to the environment – there are so many reasons it makes sense not to own a car in a capital city.

But sometimes having your own set of wheels is necessary: when you’re moving house, going on a road trip or doing a big grocery shop, for example. A number of car-sharing services such as Car Next Door, Popcar and GoGet have been helping us rent cars short-term for a while now, but so far it’s been tough to find an eco-friendly option. Enter Evee.

Founded in 2016, Evee was Australia’s first 100 per cent electric car-sharing company. It struggled to get on its feet because of high insurance premiums for electric vehicles but having worked that out it’s now offering out Teslas. It’s the only car-sharing company in Australia that offers customers the Elon Musk-produced electric cars. It currently operates in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra and, while there’s still a limited number of cars available on its website, it's slowly expanding its range as the new Tesla Model 3s rolls out in Australia.
