Shanghai (ZXZC)- On December, 26, Hainan province government issued a pilot scheme for shared mobility service from 2019 to 2025 with an aim to have 6,000 shared cars by 2022 and 10,000 units by 2025 in the well-known tourist province.

The Scheme requires that the shared mobility system of Hainan should meet public demands for charging stations, parking and other infrastructures by 2022. Under the Scheme, the ratio of electric vehicles to public charging piles in the province will reach up to 8∶1 by 2022, and 6∶1 by 2025. Besides, it will be likely in 2022 to rent a car at one location but drop it off at another one. And in 2025, 90% ride-hailing vehicles and all shared cars in operation will be powered by clean energy.

The southern island province of Hainan has attracted a number of enterprises to explore shares of its car-sharing market. In 2018, Geely signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Hainan and its CaoCao Chuxing started operation in the province afterwards. EV startup WM Motor and the province jointly built a mobility brand this year, planning to put 1,000 new energy shared cars just in 2019. Japanese automaker Toyota has begun running a mobility company on the island this month.
