If you’ve ever zipped past a lime green two-seater and wondered what the deal is, consider this your nudge to get behind the wheel. EVie’s A-B car service has the potential to change how Jersey gets around. Designed for simplicity, sustainability, and serious savings on both fuel and your carbon footprint, these electric two-seaters are the island’s answer to flexible, affordable transport without the environmental hangover.
The cars are operated through the EVie app, where you can unlock vehicles from any of the thirty (and counting) parking zones across the island. Once you’ve reached your destination, simply drop the car off at another zone. No keys, no paperwork, no rental desk. The two-seaters are ideal for solo commuters or lunchtime errand-runners, with enough space in the back for two to three cabin bags.
At less than £7/hour or £21/day with a subscription, it’s far more affordable than a traditional hire car – or even a round-trip taxi to the airport. Even without a subscription, the rates are friendly, sitting at £8.95/hour or £29/day. All fees, insurance, and fuel are included. For those with range anxiety, rest easy: these zippy little pods go up to ninety miles on a charge, and there’s the option to swap out the battery if needed.
You can even pause your booking if you want to explore on foot – no need to race back to the car before the timer runs out. It’s sustainable mobility made smart, with the freedom to move on your own terms.
While individuals are loving the flexibility, EVie’s new Credit Mobility Platform is where things get really exciting – especially for workplaces.
Think of it as a green travel perk: employers can offer staff pre-loaded EVie credit as a sustainable benefit. Instead of a car allowance or mileage claim, you get actual access to an electric fleet – an ESG campaign easy for LinkedIn-ers to rave about. If you’re a sustainability officer or office manager, consider this your chance to be everyone’s new favourite colleague.
If you’re a working professional looking to lower your footprint without losing convenience – or a business aiming to modernise your mobility – businesses get an extra 25% credit on whatever they commit. Next time you spot one of those lime green cars tucked into a corner of St. Helier, consider the possibility of embracing a smarter way to travel.
We went to Sumas by Evie
There’s nothing worse than going to pick up your car from a rogue car park the next morning, hungover. The trouble is, many pubs or dining spots – like The Dolphin – are a bit of a trek to get to, but totally worth it for the vibes. So, when it came time for a leisurely lunch at Sumas, we opted to take an Evie car and leave it at one of the many parking bays in Gorey.
Starting from our office in town, we had plenty of bays to choose from. After selecting a car, we checked it for any scratches and hopped in – all through the app. The vehicles are automatic, electric, and easy to use. They’re the perfect option for short trips across our tiny nine-by-five island.
When we reached Sumas, we parked in the Long Beach car park, unloaded our things from the back, and went on our merry way. As far as transport goes, it was smooth, efficient, and it felt good to do something sustainable for the environment. Evie cars are here to stay.
