Migros says electric cars will rent for CHF1,200 a month and scooters for CHF150 a month
Update 19:35 Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Migros is no stranger to transport, as one of Switzerland’s main suppliers of petrol, but the country’s largest supermarket is about to start selling us electric parks and a series of services for electric vehicles that will include: a “lively” Internet site, insurance, financing, regular car services and maintenance, advice.
The supermarket chain will kick off the new set of electric vehicle services through a partnership with Alpmobil in the Goms (Conches) Valley, east of Brig in canton Valais. The tourism project will offer visitors 60 electric vehicles supplied by Migrol, the petrol station brand owned by Migros. The cars will be spread around the Goms Valley, available at train stations and hotels, for example, says Alpmobil, which is a tourism planning project covering the San Gottardo region.
“The energy for this project is also coming out of the region and consists of hydro power and in future also increased wind power and PV power. The goal is to reduce the CO2 emissions and respirable dust and last but not least noise reduction,” says project director Dionys Hallenbarter.
Australia has just two new California Ferraris, and one is now sitting in a police pound after a motoring journalist who took it out for a test spin was charged with reckless driving. He was clocked at 231kph in a 110 zone, reports The Age. The lineup of other journalists waiting to test drive the car may find they don’t get a turn, with the car in high demand but the police saying it will stay locked up for seven days.
