Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

DriveNow is launching the service in partnership with Arriva Danmark, the largest bus operator in Copenhagen. Arriva won the competition tendered by the city of Copenhagen last April to operate a free floating carsharing system. One of the main conditions included in the tender was the operation of a 100% electric fleet, aligned with the city’s focus on sustainability and green urban development.

DriveNow is starting the service today (Sept. 3) with an electric car fleet of 400 BMW i3, which will be stationed in the 85-square-kilometer business district and will be available for rental without prior reservation. Good for the spontaneous! Customers will have access to over 600 charging points — all powered with renewable energy — to recharge the cars.
