Bucharest is the first city in the world to have a service that delivers rented electric cars to the place of the applicant
Bucharest has become the first city in the world where rented cars could be delivered to the place requested by the client. Representatives of companies that offer alternative transport options have asked local authorities to do more in order to ensure the infrastructure they need in the cities and towns. Owners of rented bikes, scooters and electric cars say that their services reduce the traffic and urban pollution. They also say that people tend to borrow electric cars for rides between towns, so the authorities should increase the number of charging stations on highways and national roads.
