EZZY staff conduct maintenance overnight, charge the vehicle and clean it, Fu said. "EZZY hopes our cars brighten the scenery of Beijing's urban life."

EVCARD, an electric car sharing program launched by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited in 2017 has close to 400,000 registered users and 9,000 cars across China, 6,000 of them in Shanghai.

"Most of private car owners drive their cars for only two to three hours per day," said Chen Jing, marketing manager of EVCARD. "The government supports our program with parking lots and charging post subsidies."

"Shared bicycles are convenient for short trips and enable seamless connection between the people and public transportation," said Renmin University's Xu, adding that they also reduce traffic jams and help air quality.

As an emerging service industry, bicycle-sharing brings hope that the declining bicycle industry can find a better model, said Guo Xia of Neonatal Economics.

"There are various sharing demands awaiting entrepreneurs and companies to explore," Guo said.

EVCARD now has 2,600 parking spaces in Shanghai. "We plan to share our spaces and charging posts with other cars," Chen said. "This is what sharing is all about."
