HOURCAR is a Minnesota-based nonprofit that operates carsharing services through a network of electric mobility options. It runs the EV Spot Network, which provides 100% renewably powered on-street EV charging spaces, called EV Spots, alongside a fleet of over 150 one-way electric vehicles under Evie Carshare. The network is described as the largest of its kind in the western hemisphere. The organization targets urban residents and individuals seeking flexible, affordable mobility in the Twin Cities region, including efforts to improve access through its income-based Access PLUS membership. It has built partnerships with local authorities and energy and health groups, launching initiatives such as the Multifamily Project to bring hub-based shared EVs to apartment buildings. In 2026, HOURCAR expanded its footprint with a new electric carshare hub in Fort Worth, Texas. HOURCAR is based in St. Paul, Minnesota, reflecting its Midwest focus and its evolution since 2019.
