caption_attribution_description: English: Bolloré Bluecar Bluecity car share in London
context_page_description: BlueSG is a Singapore based company providing electric car sharing services. Announced in September 2017, the company, a subsidiary of the Bolloré group, launched the service in December of the same year, with 30 charging stations and 80 all-electric Bolloré Bluecar for public use on a paid subscription basis. As of December, 2019, the company had 253 charging stations located across Singapore and a fleet of 530 cars.
context_section_description: In June, 2016, Bolloré signed an agreement with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Economic Development Board to develop an electric car-sharing programme. On September 27, 2017, BlueSG announced with LTA to launch Singapore's first large scale electric car sharing programme, with the service's electric car supplied by Bolloré. The company also opened their Asia-Pacific headquarters for its e-mobility, energy management and system integration business for the region. Bolloré used to operate several similar electric car-sharing services such as Autolib' in Paris, BlueIndy in Indianapolis and Bluecity in London, but failed to achieve scalability and has since ceased to operate in these 3 cities.
  Construction of the charging stations began at the end of September, 2017 and in December, 2017, the service was officially opened to the public with 30 charging stations and 80 cars located throughout the island. BlueSG plans to expand the service to offer 2,000 charging points in 500 charging locations, with 400 charging points open for public use and 1,000 electric cars deployed by 2020. In January, 2018, within the first 3 weeks of operations, over 3000 members signed up for the service, with 5000 rentals completed.
  In December 2018, it was announced that BlueSG will open its charging stations to privately owned electric vehicles from the first quarter of 2019.
