Founded in 2001 as San Francisco’s original car-sharing community, City CarShare has spent the past 15 years building out the greenest car-sharing fleet in the country. Thanks to a strategic partnership with the mobility and transportation experts at Carma Technology, City CarShare Powered by Carma now boasts more than 50 percent electric, hybrid or plug-in vehicles.

But an electric vehicle isn’t enough to stand out in the nation’s biggest market for EV adoption, where even the mayor ditched the executive SUV in favor of a Chevy Volt. Enter Bay Area painter and muralist Zio Ziegler, whose work you may have spotted adorning walls in the Mission or Uptown Oakland. As part of a $1.7 million initiative from the city’s Metropolitan Transportation Commission intended to drive even more EV usage in the Bay Area, Ziegler has wrapped 16 of City CarShare’s electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids with five original works of art — all of them available to reserve on-demand for as low as $5.75 an hour.

If you’ve never experienced the breezy joy that comes with liberating yourself from internal combustion, now’s your chance to drive a Ford C­-Max Energi Electric Hybrid, an all-electric Ford Focus or a Chevy Volt Hybrid for less than the price of coffee and toast. Plus, with dedicated parking and charging stations, Ziegler’s rolling murals offer the freedom to explore the Bay Area without navigating another lengthy line at the gas pump or circling the block for street parking.
