Neighbourhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs)
London, January 25, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––A fleet of electric buggies has arrived on the streets of Fulham, a West London location in the UK. They’re run by a company called Yo-Go.
There are just 10 of the canary-yellow carts on offer.
The buggies can be found in these parts of Fulham:
Parsons Green
Finlay/Fulham Palace
Niton/Woodlawn
Fulham Reach
But those who are able to nab one will be able to drive around as much as they like with a top speed of 20mph – about 5mph faster than a Lime bike – at a cost of 20p per minute or 10p per minute for subscribers.
For the time the buggy is parked away from its usual space as you grab something from the shops or pick someone up, that drops to 5p per minute. Unlike the bike hire schemes in cities around the country, though, you do need to drop off your NEV in the same place you found it once you’re done.
Rental is open to anyone aged between 25 and 70 who has a valid driving licence. It’s all set up through the yo-go.city app, available on Apple or Android.
Yo-go founder and CEO Sam Bailey told BBC News: ‘We want a vehicle that [users] feel safe interacting with, and what we also trying to do is reduce congestion.
‘So by making the vehicles smaller, the traffic flows better, there’s less constraints on parking, and that benefits everyone in the city.’
