Oslo has Electric Car Sharing

Sebastian “Looking for Electric Cuteness in all the GM places” Blanco reports, “Residents of Oslo, Norway – and tourists – will soon be able to participate in a new car sharing plan called Move About.” The service will offer Th!nk City electric cars to drive. After Gutenberg readers may recall that Ford Motor Company imported the Think City for a station car project tested by the New York Power Authority.
