GreenCar is providing four 100 percent electric Nissan Leaf vehicles and two, Level 2 commercial charging stations by ECOtality as the initial Blink Network in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Leaf, a five-door sedan, can be rented for $15 per hour or $95 per day. Third party electric vehicle (EV) owners can use the charging stations for a flat $5 fee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThrough GreenCar Hawaii, we are making another contribution to Hawaii\u2019s clean energy goal and providing our guests with a simple and convenient alternative to traditional car rental,\u201d said Tom Herman, general manager of the DoubleTree by Hilton Alana Waikiki. \u201cOur guests, patrons and the community now have access to on-demand mobility by hour directly from the hotel and at the same time help us support our global brand\u2019s sustainability initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reservations can be made online, phone or at the GreenCar kiosk in the DoubleTree lobby. Guests check in at the kiosk to print an access voucher and their GreenCar is delivered directly to them by the hotel valet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eyes on Additional Hotels<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are working with other hotels and properties on Kauai and Oahu to launch the GreenCar mobility alternative for visitors,\u201d noted Justin MacNaughton, co-founder with Warren Doi of the hospitality service. \u201cGreenCar is getting rave reviews, both from the management side and from guests, and we are really interested in helping to develop better ways to access and use mobility, while limiting the number of fossil fuel burning cars on Hawaii\u2019s roads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In March GreenCar Hawaii was one of six companies selected from 19 applicants to the State of Hawaii\u2019s Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) EV Ready Grant Program, established to speed up market acceptance of EVs and related charging equipment, an important strategy in reaching Hawaii\u2019s 70 percent clean energy goal. Funding for the grant program is provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, managed by DBEDT.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In June 2010, GreenCar launched its first car sharing platform with two hybrid-electric vehicles at Pure Kauai Luxury Getaways, followed a month later at the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa in Poipu with four hybrid-electric vehicles for on-demand rental by the hour (or day) directly from the hotel. The company expects to complete agreements with additional hospitality network partners on Oahu and Kauai this year with up to six operating locations by mid-2012.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Articla taken from Green Lodging News.
