Hyundai in Ireland is planning to beat the problem of range anxiety among potential EV buyers by teaming up with car-sharing firm GoCar, in a deal that would enable buyers of the forthcoming electric Ioniq model to use GoCar vehicles at a significant discount when they need to complete a longer trip (ie. beyond the range of the Ioniq, which is said to be 250km). The deal, announced today, will see Hyundai’s Irish subsidiary partnering with Go-Car’s Dublin office and its fleet operator for an initial period of six months – from April 2018 onwards.

Apparently a similar deal is also in the works with Europcar for owners who need a car for a driving holiday, for which their Ioniq would not be suitable due to limited range.
