Ditch ownership, for good
Owning a car used to make sense. Now it just costs more — in time, money, and emissions. With Carbn’s flexible EV options, you can ditch ownership for good and choose the way that fits your lifestyle.
Whether you want to rent an EV for a day, subscribe for a few months, or keep one long-term without the hassle, we’ve got you covered. Our range includes everything from compact city EVs to premium electric SUVs, all maintained, insured, and ready to roll.
No loans. No long-term contracts. No worries. Just one simple payment that covers everything — maintenance, insurance, and support.
Make the switch to smarter, cleaner driving today. Your next car doesn’t need to be owned — it just needs to move you.
Book by the hour
Zilch offers on-demand, zero-emission vehicles that can be hired by the hour or day, providing an eco-friendly alternative to car ownership. Users can sign up online, get verified, and receive a Zilch card, which serves as the key to access their electric vehicles.
Commuter Subscription
Zilch subscriptions offer EV commuting at a fraction of the cost of private ownership by sharing cars between commuters and Zilch business members.
Commute to the CBD in a Zilch EV, and during the day the car is available for other Zilch members to drive by-the-hour.
Zilch for Business
Zilch CARSHARE is our pay-per-use (PPU) fleet of shared electric vehicles, providing a flexible and convenient mobility solution for businesses.
Available for booking from just an hour to a full week, these vehicles are equipped with keyless entry and come with a guaranteed carpark for hassle-free access.
With no ongoing costs—just pay as you use—Zilch CARSHARE offers an easy, cost-effective way to enhance fleet availability while reducing dependency on rental cars and mileage reimbursements.
