A community car scheme was started in Corwen in Denbighshire last year. Two new electric cars have also been ordered for rural areas in Gwynedd. Others are being looked at in Conwy and Wrexham counties.
Supporters say they can make it easier for people in rural areas to get to job interviews, hospital appointments, or just to do the shopping. But at least one scheme in Wales has been wound up. In Corwen, the electric car is a red Nissan Leaf called Neli, organised by the South Denbighshire Community Partnership. Bookings have been slow to come in since the electric car arrived in October last year, but organisers have used it as an extra vehicle for a community dial-a-ride scheme when it's not been out on hire.
