Emov has surpassed 100,000 registered users in just 100 days!

Emov, the carsharing company based in Madrid, has recorded 100,000 users in the first 100 days since it began operating in the Spanish capital.

This spectacular increase in users in such a short time is due to the usefulness and convenience of the service. Using it exempts you from the hated traffic restrictions that have generated so much controversy between supporters and detractors at Madrid City Council. Speed limits or parking restrictions in the city’s central area would be some examples.

The company’s vehicles have covered a total of 1,800,000 kilometres since the initiative was launched. This flow of electric car traffic has made it possible to avoid emitting into the atmosphere more than 175 tonnes of CO2.

Fernando Izquierdo, CEO of emov, is very pleased with the increase in users and has stated the following: “This rapid growth, unprecedented among carsharing companies in the world, has made it possible for emov to consider, in the medium term, _{increasing the fleet of electric vehicles and expanding the operational area of the service}. Our goal is for more and more citizens of Madrid to be able to use a sustainable, innovative and intelligent mobility alternative.”

The type of user who uses the emov car the most is mostly ‘millennial’. 47% of users are between 18 and 35 years old. The average duration of trips is around 20 minutes, with an average trip cost of 3.8 euros from the moment the car is unlocked until it is parked and locked through the app. Reserving the car has no cost for the customer, who only pays for actual use.

In these first months of service, there are users who have made more than 200 trips. The longest journey recorded was that of a user who managed to drive for 82 kilometres through the streets of Madrid. Likewise, some cars have made up to 26 trips in a single day.
