What’s little, green, and emission-free?
No, not a leprechaun on a skateboard…it’s altcar! Or more specifically, the Maya 300, manufactured by electrovaya and featuring battery technology enhanced by ExxonMobil. This little guy is totally electric-powered and gives off zero emissions. The small 5-door/hatchback design is ideal for zipping around the city to run errands, get to work, save a bit of money and make Baltimore a little greener. In the first few weeks of release, it’s proven to be quite a hit. To date, there have been just over 100 participants in the Ride and Drive Progam.
The Maryland Science Center is proud to be the first to offer a 100% electric car rental and car sharing program in the United States. From now until July 31st, any licensed driver who holds an admission ticket can take the Maya 300 for a test drive! It’s been an exciting time for us and for Baltimore, as even Mayor Sheila Dixon stopped by to speak at the press conference before the launch.
We’re currently accepting members for the car-sharing network. Rates begin as low as $7.50/hour, depending on your access plan! To learn more about the program or to register, visit www.altcar.org or call 410-528-0150.
