French billionaire Vincent Bollore has unveiled plans to park 3,000 electric cars on London streets by 2016, as part of a car-sharing scheme that emulates the popular bike-sharing program started in 2010 under Mayor Boris Johnson.
Bollore, CEO of the group bearing his name which set up the Autolib electric car-sharing program in Paris in 2011, said that car-sharing fleets of battery-powered cars could help cut congestion and reduce pollution in the British capital.
