Problem
Traditional car ownership involves significant financial burdens, including purchase costs, maintenance, and depreciation, while also contributing to increased carbon emissions. Many individuals and businesses need flexible access to vehicles without the long-term commitment and expense of ownership.
Solution
Zimbl provides on-demand access to a fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) through an app-based platform, offering a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional car ownership. Users can rent electric cars and vans by the hour or day, accessing vehicles at designated Zimbl Hubs or requesting delivery to their location. Zimbl also offers long-term rental options for businesses and individuals seeking predictable monthly costs and the benefits of driving an EV without the commitment of a purchase. The company also operates a 100kW supercharger service for EV owners.
