Quickar(PDF 8.49 7 September 2017 The Secretary, Economy and Infrastructure Committee Parliament House, Spring Street EAST MELBOURNE VIC 3002 Dear Secretary, Please accept this cover letter and attached report as a submission to the Committee’s Inquiry into Electric Vehicles. A mushrooming of Melbourne’s population over the next 20 years combined with the phenomena of significant population detachment from economic hubs driven by growing rates of car ownership and burgeoning investment by government in private car driver-driven infrastructure is a looming urban mobility crisis. We risk sleepwalking into a situation where our once “world’s most livable city” has insufficient public transport, overloaded infrastructures, a default logarithmic expansion of motorised means of transport, a vast rise in air and noise pollution and CO2 emissions, a concomitant parking capacity problem and increasing disparity in the social equity standards between communities of very near proximity. What should the Victorian Government do? The attached report assesses the opportunity for Free Floating Car Sharing in Zero Emission urban transport. This report concludes that Free Floating Car Sharing is an innovative technology with a smart operating model that improves cities. It offers cities a no-cost, scaleable transport alternative to supplement existing transport systems and reduce inner urban vehicle congestion. Moreover, Free Floating Car Sharing offers Melbourne’s best opportunity for a definitive, practical and evolutionary pathway into a sustainable Zero Emission urban mobility future through the accelerated uptake of Electric Vehicles. Quickar Pty Ltd (ABN 99 611 879 513) Melbourne, 3000 Victoria, Australia Page 1 of 66 In light of these conclusions, the Victorian Government should: • Enable Free Floating Car Sharing. It should create an exemption or permit classification under the Road Safety Regulations that would provide temporal freedom in Permissive Parking Zones for Free Floating Car Sharing Schemes. • Encourage all inner-urban Councils to foster a regulatory scheme that will recognise that Free Floating Car Sharing is good for consumers and good for cities, that user incentives are necessary to encourage regular utilisation, and a medium term trial period would be necessary to encourage multiple International operators to establish themselves. • Ensure that Councils recognise that onerous administrative burdens and fees will make Free Floating Car Sharing Schemes unviable. • Support the transition to Battery Electric Vehicle Fleets with measured support for infrastructure establishment and operating expenditure. • Fund associated budgetary impacts with the least distorting tax available or by cutting low-value expenditures. These simple reforms would enable the effective deployment of Free Floating Car Sharing in Victoria and enable the accelerated uptake of sustainable private and public Electric Vehicle transport ultilisation. Quickar is pleased to be able to make a submission and assist the Committee in its deliberations. We would be happy to meet with the Committee and provide further information that may assist it. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you or the Committee require further information. Yours Sincerely, Scott Browning Chief Executive Officer Email: Phone: cc.

Automotive technology is evolving rapidly and cultural attitudes towards cars are changing. People are seeking better ways to create more liveable communities and they are turning to empowering technology for ways to access and achieve low cost and sustainable private mobility solutions. Digital Retailing, Car Sharing, Ride Sharing, Electric Powertrain and Driverless Control combined with the digital and cyber-physical technology revolution will significantly disrupt the automotive and transportation industries over the next decade; in very much the same way digital disruption has already impacted photo imaging, music, books, video entertainment, media, communications and discretionary retailing. These disrupters will herald the greatest change in our urban landscape since the motor car replaced the horse a century ago. Quickar provides thought leadership and development of practical strategic solutions to affected government bodies and corporations seeking to remain relevant through the disruption journey to ultimately leverage these evolving technologies and consumer attitudes. Page 4 of 66 1. Introduction City Limits All around the globe people are flocking to cities. In 2007, UN population figures showed that more than a half of the world’s population for the first time lived in urban areas. That proportion is set to rise to 60% by 2030 and 67% by 2050. This mushrooming in urban population will be accompanied by a massive growth in the number of individual journeys taken on a daily basis. Today, 64% of all travel kilometers are made in urban environments but the number of urban kilometers travelled is expected to treble by 2050.1 In Australia the urban population is predicted to grow from 21 million people in 2016, to 37 million people in 2050. Nearly half, 16 Million will live in Melbourne and Sydney. The majority of Australia’s population will live in Melbourne. Such an explosion in the growth of urban mobility systems will present new challenges on a number of different fronts. Planet: At a time when sustainability of resources and the environment is increasingly at the forefront of one’s mind, a logarithmic increase in the use of motorised transport raises the specter of a vast rise in air and noise pollution and CO2 emissions. Indeed, it is predicted that by 2050 urban mobility systems will use 17.3% of the planet’s bio capacities, five times more than they did in 1990.2 People: An inevitable consequence of an unreformed and under- invested urban mobility system is gridlock. By 2050, the average time an urban dweller will spend in traffic jams will be 106 hours per year, twice the current rate, with all that entails for the quality of life of the average citizen.3 Profit: Unless far-sighted decisions relating to service expansion and innovation are made now, the cities of the future stand to sleepwalk into a situation where they have insufficient public transport, overloaded infrastructures, a default expansion of motorised means of transport and a concomitant parking capacity problem. Given that urban infrastructure is a key factor in luring businesses to cities, this would be highly damaging commercially. In Australia, major capital cities, and in particular Sydney & Melbourne, are struggling under the pain of outer-urban expansion fuelled by anxiety over housing affordability. This expansion of urban sprawl into unused land residential releases, permitted by roads infrastructure brought on by high and 8 3&()& ((!. 978;4 9 3&()& ((!. 978;4 : 3&()& ((!. 978;4 Page 5 of 66 growing levels of private vehicle ownership, ameliorates community and political concerns around housing affordability. However, the phenomenon dramatically increases the relative cost of transportation for households and disadvantages communities with detachment from employment growth opportunities, health services, education and more integrated community environments. Ironically, housing build and insurance costs also increase due to greater footprint requirements necessitated by garaging for two and three vehicle households. All these impacts in turn put excessive stress and burden on public expenditures as the total area to supply essential services is a major coefficient of cost. Everything from train schedule reliability to academic performance to hospital waiting lists worsen the further communities are forced to exist away from the main employment and economic hub. 1)4 /14 0)4 /)4 ./4 .)4 ,14 -)4 ,.4 ,)4 +)4 /4 *)4 &,4 )4 )&*) *)&+) +)5 &*)4 ! Figure 1: Employment and population growth, Melbourne, 2006-11 4 Meanwhile, mobility needs are evolving all over the world. People’s travel habits are changing, as is the mix of transport modes and services offered to them. But it is clear that, going forward, transport providers will have to satisfy demand for services that are increasingly convenient, fast and predictable. At the same time, consumers are becoming more concerned about the sustainability of their mode of travel and some are prepared to sacrifice individual forms of transport in furtherance of that cause, leading to the successful introduction and rapid penetration of new mobility services such as car sharing and bike sharing. Due to limits on public financing, however, public transport stakeholders are struggling to improve the attractiveness, capacity and efficiency of public transport and system innovation may be the only answer. At the same time, specialised players from other sectors – notably automotive

BY ELYSE DUPRE — AUGUST 29, 2016 VIEW GALLERY https://www.dmnews.com/customer-experience/article/13035536/how-uber-won-the-rideshare-wars-and-what-comes-next 1/18 2/18/2020 How Uber Won The Rideshare Wars and What Comes Next View Gallery In 2011, two University of Michigan alums Adrian Fortino and Jahan Khanna partnered with venture capitalist Sunil Paul to revolutionize how people got from point A to point B quickly without having to do much. The company was Sidecar, and the idea was simple: “We're going to replace your car with your iPhone,” Fortino explains. Sidecar did not lack competition. Around this time, the taxi industry was experimenting with new ways to make it easier for individuals to summon cars. And entrepreneurs, frustrated with wait times, imagined new ways to hire someone to drive them around. Multiple companies formed to solve this need, including one that is now considered a global powerhouse: Uber. By the time Sidecar went into beta testing in February 2012, Uber, or UberCab as it was originally known when it was founded in 2009, had raised at least $37.5 million at a $330 million post-money valuation, according to VentureBeat. Lyft followed shortly after when it went into beta in mid 2012, boasting more than $7 million in funding, according to TechCrunch's figures.

  • The Impact of Carsharing on Car Ownership in German Cities
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Transportation Research Procedia 19 ( 2016 ) 215 – 224 International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport Transforming Urban Mobility, mobil.TUM 2016, 6-7 June 2016, Munich, Germany The Impact of Carsharing on Car Ownership in German Cities Dr. Flemming Giesel*, Dr. Claudia Nobis German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Transport Research, Rutherfordstraße 2, 12489 Berlin, Germany Abstract Carsharing, currently growing strongly in Germany, is an important instrument for sustainable urban mobility. The present boom is mainly due to so-called “free-floating carsharing”. Whilst the environmental effects of station-based carsharing have been intensively studied in the German-speaking context, to date there have been hardly any empirical findings on the effect of free- floating carsharing. Using the example of DriveNow and Flinkster in Berlin and Munich, this article examines to what extent free-floating carsharing leads to a reduction of car ownership compared to station-based carsharing. Based on online surveys (n=819/227) carried out within the “WiMobil” project (9/2012 – 10/2015), descriptive analyses and two binary logistic regressions were performed. The findings show that station-based and free-floating carsharing leads to a reduction of private cars but to different degrees (DriveNow 7%; Flinkster 15%). The shedding of cars is influenced by the frequency of use of carsharing and the increasing membership of station-based carsharing providers. Furthermore, for many people of both systems carsharing is an important reason not to buy a car. But there is also a significant proportion of people planning a car purchase. This is true especially for car-savvy persons for whom car ownership is very important.

  • Boulder Access Management and Parking Strategies On-Street Car
    Boulder Access Management and Parking Strategies On-Street Car Share Policy DRAFT September 2015 On-Street Car Share Policy Review and Recommendations Draft Report September 2015 Executive Summary Introduction Carsharing represents a new approach in transportation policy that is influenced by a larger philosophy that has come to be known as the “sharing economy”. Carsharing taps into a new mindset (generally attributed to the Millennial generation) that deprioritizes vehicle ownership, embraces concerns about rising congestion in cities, promotes more environmentally sensitive policies and the embraces the desire to have a greater range of transportation options. As traffic congestion and parking concerns increase in Boulder, carsharing will become an important component of the overall Access Management and Parking Strategies (AMPS) program. Carsharing has proven effective as a tool to reduce the number of personal cars on the street, increase travel flexibility for people who do not have personal vehicles and reduces both traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Studies have shown that carsharing decreases personal car miles traveled per year, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases perceived mobility of a city, reduces traffic and cuts down on parking congestion. Carsharing also allows increased mobility for low-income populations without owning a vehicle and puts more fuel efficient vehicles on the roads with most carsharing services requiring a certain fuel efficiency for each car in their fleet. Carsharing also has a documented impact on vehicle ownership rates and greenhouse gas emissions: Research shows carsharing members reduce average vehicle ownership from 0.47 to 0.24 vehicles per household. (Smart Mobility, page 21) According to Zipcar, 13% of car share users in Washington, DC and Boston have sold a car since joining and more than 40% have avoided buying a car.
