The plug-ins are available to all Zipcar members ages 21+, starting from $14.50 per hour. “We’ve enjoyed our partnership with Zipcar since 2008,” said Stacy Stuart, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Human Resources at Edison Properties, the parent company of Edison ParkFast. “Both companies are committed to providing people in New York and elsewhere with the best possible driving and parking options. And with the arrival of Zipcar’s Plug-in Hybrid electric vehicles, combined with our ParkFast charging stations, New Yorkers now have a new and environmentally friendly way of getting where they need to go.” Zipcar is a longstanding pioneer in using advanced vehicle technologies as the first car sharing company in the United States to introduce electric vehicles, starting in Boston in 2002, and the first to offer hybrid vehicles through a partnership with Honda in Seattle in 2003.
