Detroit Edison operates a fleet of 24 electric cars in a cost-sharing demonstration program with the United States Department of Energy. The program features a unique lease program in which electric passenger cars are used by Detroit Edison employees for their personal driving needs, such as commuting to work, shopping, etc. Over 50,000 miles have been logged on the 24 cars during the first six months of operation. The project began in June, 1981. This paper describes the lease program and the Electric Car Service Center, charging stations and other facilities which Detroit Edison has set up to support the program.
