Showcase Carsharing

I took the topic carsharing and did some research about it. In my calculation I assumed, that two person can share one car. I calculated with the data of one VW Golf. To produce one VW Golf you need 22'000 kWh of energy. If you compare 10 people who do carsharing to 10 people who aren’t doing carsharing, you can see that we save 50% energy by doing carsharing. Of course not every person would be able to do carsharing, because he needs his car too much or he lives somewhere, where you can only get to by car. I assume that 60% of all the people which are having a car could also do carsharing. So in the real world we could save 30% energy by doing carsharing.

In the year 2019 67 Million cars where produced. If we do carsharing we would have produced 20 Million less cars. If we do the same calculation like we did before, we can see that we would save 440 billion kWh of energy. This is enought energy to supply switzerland for 7 years. As you can see carsharing could save a lot of energy.
