Bluecity was a London-based company providing electric car-sharing services, starting from 26 April 2017 to 10 February 2020.^[1] The cars provided by the service were Bolloré Bluecars by the Bolloré group.

Fleet

The service used the all-electric Bolloré Bluecar,^[2] which were adapted to suit London's left-hand traffic. It is a three-door hatchback electric car with four seats and has a 30kWh lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery, coupled to a supercapacitor, that provides an electric range of 250 km (160 mi) in urban use, and a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).^[3]

Operations

The scheme was operational first in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham from June 2017,^[4] and the London Borough of Merton followed shortly after.^[5]

In 2018, Bluecity located 10 cars at Gatwick Airport.^[6]

Bluecity shut down permanently on 10 February 2020, after reaching agreements with only three of London's thirty-three local authorities.^[7][8]
