Company:EVie
The Jersey Electric Vehicle Company Ltd., trading as EVie, is an on-demand electric vehicle hire company operating in Jersey and Guernsey.[1]
The start-up company was founded by Jersey entrepreneur Gavin Breeze at the end of 2019,[2] initially providing an electric car-sharing service in Jersey's capital St Helier with three BMW i3 electric cars and one electric van, with an aim to increase to 20 vehicles by the end of 2020.[3][4][5] Then, later in 2020, the company launched a dockless electric bicycle hire scheme, branded as EVie Bikes in Jersey using the Freebike app.[6] EVie Bikes launched with 140 bikes.[7] The bikes operate using Jersey Telecom's Internet of Things division.[8]
In April 2021, EVie expanded their operations to Guernsey with 25 new electric bikes and the company launched a new fleet of e-bikes in Jersey.[9][10]
In May 2021, the Government launched a joint 'park and ride' initiative, whereby users can park in parking laybys on Victoria Avenue for half price, and hire an EVie bike to cycle onward towards St Helier.[11]
