Testing the e-car subscription: This is how Netflix & Co.’s business model works on the road

Our test conclusion: An (e-)car on subscription? This model has a future!

Even with a moderate driving style, the Polestar 2 needs hardly less than 20 kWh per 100 kilometers. This would be about 375 kilometers in one go. The Mini Cooper SE consumes only 15.3 kWh, but is hardly suitable for routes over 200 kilometers. In addition to the two e-cars shown, the FINN subscription service also offers Teslas, the Fiat 500e and the Renault ZOE. There are also combustion engines and hybrid models - and the vehicle fleet is constantly growing. From city runabouts with sunroofs to electric sports cars on 20-inch aluminum rims: there is something for everyone here.

An (e-)car subscription is suitable for anyone who wants variety in the garage or only needs a car for a limited period of time. The brand new models are delivered free of charge and the subscription provider takes care of registration, insurance and maintenance. We only need our driver's license and a charging card for public charging stations. For some of us, maybe even the socket at home is enough, because all imaginable charging cables are also included.
