EU GPP case study: Procurement of electric vehicles for public use in the city of Paris
The Autolib’ system is a follow-up to Paris’ Velib’ bicycle sharing scheme, launched in 2007. Autolib’ is a full electric public car- sharing service for customers and includes the deployment of an interconnected infrastructure of on-street stations for recharging batteries and parking vehicles. Although the City of Paris is the origin of the project, following its experiences in electric vehicles and the Velib’ scheme, it has partnered with 47 surrounding municipalities to ensure a service that can uniformly cover the Parisian metropolis. The scheme intends to deploy 3,000 all-electric cars for public use, initially based around 1,120 citywide parking and charging stations. As of December 2012, the Autolib’ fleet of vehicles has covered over 5,000,000 km since its launch 12 months earlier. This equates to a saving of nearly 630,000 kg of CO2 when compared to the use of a typical passenger vehicle. So far, 65,000 registered subscribers have access to more than 1,800 vehicles spread across more than 670 stations which include 3,900 charging points. These stations are also open for private individuals wishing to charge their electric vehicles.
