RVshare and Grounded partner to launch Electric RV Rental Program in Detroit
Renters have access to eco-friendly transportation through this exclusive partnership with Grounded, as well as an opportunity to directly influence future versions of the E-RV program and product development.
Detroit, United States- RVshare., a community for RV owners and renters, debuts a new partnership with electric RV startup, Grounded, to bring a Electric Recreational Vehicle rental program to the Detroit market. Grounded RVs is the first electric vehicle fleet on the platform thanks to these rentals, which are only accessible through RVshare. Through a fleet of E-RVs that are available for daily rental, this program, which is also funded by the Michigan Office for Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME), will offer environmentally friendly travel options for visitors in a historically disadvantaged city.
Renters have access to eco-friendly transportation through this exclusive partnership with Grounded, as well as an opportunity to directly influence future versions of the E-RV program and product development. The "G1 models" are constructed using zero-emissions technology, achieving more general sustainability goals that complement the OFME's aim, and doing so at a reasonable price. The starting price for each of the three G1 electric camper vans on RVshare for a 24-hour rental is $199.
RVshare's CEO Jon Gray said, "The partnership between RVshare and Grounded marks a significant step in RV innovation. It is exciting to give customers access to the very first fleet of electric recreational vehicles to rent for a weekend of camping or a Big 10 tailgate. We look forward to seeing how interested parties test drive these units."
Grounded's CEO Sam Shapiro said, "We're thrilled to partner with RVshare to offer a first-of-its-kind, fully electric, zero-emissions travel experience in Detroit, which is meaningful both because of Michigan's continued dedication to the future of transportation, and because our mission includes improving accessibility," said .
The RVshare platform will be used exclusively to manage reservations for these E-RV rentals, providing renters with a smooth, trouble-free experience. The G1 models provide low pricing and flexible rental terms, as well as a host of contemporary conveniences and a comfortable, environmentally friendly design.
