Happy 10th Birthday, Evo Car Share!

March 20, 2025

This month, Evo Car Share is celebrating its 10th birthday and a decade of transforming how people in BC get around without owning a car. Starting with just 250 hybrids in 2015 to now 2,500 vehicles, Evo is a made-in-BC success story, becoming the fastest growing and one of the largest car share providers in Canada.

“Our goal was to give people in BC a better way to get around, even if they didn’t own a car. Since launching a decade ago, we’ve grown our hybrid and electric fleet, and massively expanded the communities and members we serve,” says Amitis Khorsandi, Vice President, Evo Car Share. "We’re excited to celebrate our birthday with our members, and everyone in BC.”

Evo Car Share is a story of growth and success. Since 2015, Evo has grown to almost a quarter million members who have travelled over 278 million kilometres. Along the way, Evo has expanded to nine cities, launched new features and services such as Evo for Business in 2021, its first fully electric vehicles in 2021, Evo Return Roundtrip Car Share in 2022, Evolve E-Bike Share in 2022 and the Evo Loyalty Points Program in 2024.

But the numbers don’t just tell a story about Evo, they tell a story about British Columbians and how they travel. “Evo is part of so many people’s everyday lives because it’s built for the BC lifestyle – we give our members the freedom to get the most out of life in BC by getting up to the mountain, visiting new parts of town, and connecting communities,” says Khorsandi. “We’re proud to be local and committed to be there for everything from quick grocery runs to multi-day road trips, and big life events.” Read More

Evo is joining pilot for new app that shares regional transit, carshare and bikeshare services!

February 21, 2024

Evo is joining TransLink, Modo, and Mobi by Rogers in a beta test for the RideLink App, a new app that integrates transit, carshare, and bikeshare services into one convenient location. The app is a one-stop-shop for seamless travel across Metro Vancouver without a personal vehicle.

App users will be able to:

• Plan trips with transit, carshare, and bikeshare options with real-time information on vehicle and bike locations.

• Use their Compass Cards to tap into transit, Evo, and Modo vehicles as well as Mobi Bikes at bikeshare stations.

• Book and pay for carshare and bikeshare services.

Starting today, TransLink is accepting applications for 1,300 customers to test the app as part of a pilot program. TransLink will gather feedback from participants over a 12-month period on the usability and ease of integration between the services. This feedback will allow TransLink to assess whether this will become a permanent app in the future and apply upgrades to the software.

To be eligible to participate in the trial, applicants must be at least 19 years old, have a valid driver’s licence, a valid credit card, and a smartphone. Those who are interested in using multiple mobility services are more likely to be selected for the trial.

Interested? Apply here.
