Abstract: This short topical issues paper supports a rethink of the role of the car in a Mobility as a Service (MaaS) program. In particular, we consider the appeal of including electric cars as part of the sharing service, which we call electric car sharing as a service (ECSaaS). With the inclusion of more sustainable modes, this might be rebadged as eMaaS. This position is in part designed to try and offer an improved potential commercial future for MaaS which, we suggest, without subsidy from government does not at present look promising.
