What is EVE Car?
 
At it’s heart, EVE Car is an easy off-ramp from a whole consumer paradigm deeply embedded in our culture: “We use our capital to buy an internal combustion engine car. That car sits and depreciates most of the time, and when we take it out to use it, we need to keep putting more money in it in the form of gasoline.”   And in exchange we have “Freedom.” (cue the inspiring music accompanying cinematic images of a shiny SUV carving the corners of an ocean-side road.)
 
What’s wrong with this paradigm? It’s not the most efficient use of your capital - because the car sits idle so much of the time. It’s not the most efficient use of the planet’s resources - because combustion engines are an old technology that was conceived before we knew that tail-pipe emissions were a source of climate change.  
 
EVE-Car gives you the freedom, without the waste.   The cars are environmentally clean. Your capital stays with you - to invest in assets that grow, rather than decline in value over time.
 
And from the cash-flow standpoint - you have a much more predictable expense line - one that is less sensitive to the number of miles you drive, the repairs your car requires or the popularity of your vehicle model in the used market.  
 
While EVE Car is entirely optional for EVE Park owners, we expect that, over time, more and more EVE Park owners will come to see EVE-Car as an innovation that makes their life better. Let’s start with the Why of EVE Car and then we’ll get down to the what, where, how, and when.
 
Why EVE Car?
  • Because Climate. How you get around has a big impact on your carbon footprint. For most people around 30-40%. But now that you live in a net-zero home - personal transportation will be an even bigger share of your carbon footprint. And now - the really good news: Ontario’s power grid is very clean by global standards - with only about 3-4% of the electricity produced generated from fossil fuel sources. So when you drive an electric car in Ontario, you really are cutting your carbon footprint very significantly. Combine that with living in a Net Zero home like EVE Park - and you are making a personal impact on climate change.

  • Because Tesla. Teslas are really nice cars. They’re expensive, sure. But they are nice to drive. Fun to drive. Elegant vehicles. And with EVE Car, you can be driving one now, without any forward-looking risk around repair and resale. You. Just. Drive.

  • Because Money. When you add everything up - all the little things - insurance, fueling, oil changes, repairs, financing charges, lease overage charges and most of all - depreciation...the actual cost of car ownership turns out to be more than most people realize. For most people, vehicle depreciation per mile driven is two or three times the cost of fuel, for instance, but few people think of that as they are driving down the highway. As a result - if you have a car in your driveway - you have an average drag of $10,000 on your annual cash flow. Now that might be 100% fine with you, but what if you have two cars? Quite a number of the prospective EVE Park buyers that we surveyed in preparation for building EVE Park reported that they would be happy to part with their second car if there was a good alternative that suited the needs of their household.
