Ratings and reviews

For the price, Evie is the perfect supplement to my monthly metropass. It's saved me when I just miss the last of the nearest hourly bus that'd get me home, and mile per mile is reliably equal to or less than the price that I'd expect to pay to a company like Uber. HourCar is nice when you know you'll need a lil more space for a load of small-to-medium furniture, like after a breakup. Also good for trips to the suburbs and beyond. 1 star taken away for limited Evie home range; needs extending.

The app occasionally glitches out and renders the map as just a black plane. I think this was fixed recently though. Other times it can just be very slow and laggy. For the most part though it's pretty solid, and the service itself is an incredible way to save money while still having access to cars. 4.5/5 for Evie as a service, 3.5/5 for the app. If I could suggest anything, it'd be to provide a walk time estimate to any reserved Evie.

The app is not the greatest, but it mostly does the job. I really like the Evie car share though. The electric cars are fun to drive, the one-way nature (just drop it off wherever and whenever you're done) is great, the phone support if something goes wrong is very helpful and friendly, the pricing is really reasonable. Thanks Evie!
