A Day in the Life of a ZEV•NET Shared-Use Electric Station Car

ZEV•NET is a new transportation system that couples the benefits of mass transit with the convenience and flexibility of a personal car. The net effect of the ZEV•NET system, which reduces traffic congestion, emissions, and the use of fossil fuels, is to improve the environment without sacrificing personal choice and convenience.

This graphic illustrates how the ZEV•NET system works by highlighting the use of a single shared-use electric station car during the course of a day.

  1. The commuter arrives at the station on a train and drives to work in a nearby business park.
  2. Coworkers of Commuter utilize the vehicle during the day for local business trips.
  3. After work, the Commuter takes the vehicle back to the station, plugs the car into a charger, and meets the homebound train.
