More Info
GoForth has two primary uses:
-
Free, no-contact, no-pressure, self-service EV test-drives to experience the joys of driving electric, every driver’s first test drive is free.
-
Carsharing for communities. Several vehicles will be located at affordable housing developments. After the initial free test drive, subsequent reservations can be made on the platform for a low hourly fee, providing affordable, personal, on-demand transportation to local residents.
What is carsharing?
Carsharing is a system where individuals have access to a network of vehicles for short-term rental. You can view where cars are located and make reservations in a few simple steps using the carsharing app. With GoForth CarShare, the first drive is free but there is a small hourly fee for each additional ride. Drivers must verify their license information prior to reserving a car.
What's an electric car?
Electric cars drive much like traditional cars. The pedals, steering wheel and controls are the same, but they are fueled by electricity instead of gas. They charge through a plug, just like your phone.
