Through AAA Car Subscription electric vehicle service, members can now get a 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf with insurance, repairs, maintenance, and emergency roadside assistance all for one monthly subscription fee.

Terms range from three months to a year, with a number of monthly mileage options to choose from, allowing drivers to match their subscription to their lifestyle and needs. 

AAA Car Subscription EV delivers the car to a member’s door with a zero contact experience. When the subscription term ends, members have the option to seamlessly renew or simply return the vehicle. With Electrify America’s support, the AAA subscription program offers substantial discounts for residents of low-income and disadvantaged communities, making the service one of the most affordable options to get Sacramento residents in an EV for about $11 a day.

AAA Car Subscription EV service is part of Electrify America’s investment of more than $40 million in a comprehensive Green City initiative in Sacramento, which is designed to shift transportation choices to electric mobility. The Sacramento-based initiative was the first in the nation for Electrify America, providing Sacramento with one of the highest per-capita density of Electrify America ultra-fast chargers in the nation and offering local EV drivers an abundance of options to charge on the go even if they do not have a home charging solution.

With the addition of AAA’s Car Subscription EV service, Electrify America’s Green Cities investment in Sacramento now encompass a car sharing program operated by Envoy for residents residing primarily in lower income and disadvantaged housing communities, a city-wide on-demand free-floating car sharing service operated by Gig Car Share, new public transit EV bus, and micro-shuttle programs with support from the Franklin Boulevard Business District and operated by Sacramento Regional Transit and Yolo County Transit District, and more than 13 state-of-the-art electric charging sites with 58 total charging dispensers throughout the Sacramento area.
