With the import tax on cars being from 100-180% in Denmark, car ownership is low and bicycle use is high. However, if a car is required for a short time, then registered clients can look up the location of one of these car-share companies from an app and drive off.
Having electric cars for sharing will help Denmark reach its goal of being carbon neutral by 2025. It is said that each share car will replace 15 privately owned cars on the road (The Economist).

This is great to see, I live in Eugene OR and recently on a 1/2 mile walk back from a supermarket here I counted 131 cars which were just parked idle, and this is not a busy city by US standards.
