Keyless Contact-Free Ecar Pick-up

This QuickStart technology means no “in person” key handovers, just stand by the driver’s side of the car and press unlock on the hiyacar app, so you run errands, visit friends and family or get away from town for a while, in just minutes!
Electric Car Share Community
Not only will you get access to our two comfortable, affordable electric vehicles, along with community-based car hire, comes a sense of community. Check out the TECC forum for discussions about what others in the area have been using the cars for, and any tips and tricks they share!
Our Electric Cars
After this simple process and upon becoming a TECC member, you’ll have access to our two electric cars -
Nissan Leaf
Arguably the most well-known Ecar on the market, TECC’s Nissan Leaf is a member favourite, found by many to be a ‘smooth family drive’, ‘responsive’ and ‘comfortable’, this is the perfect EV for family days out in the Borders, or even just for taking home a large grocery shop!
BMW i3
Many of our members find our BMW i3 to be a ‘smooth ride’ with ‘economical battery power’ and an all-round ‘excellent car’ - we’re very excited to offer this car for use by our members.
This high-performance battery car is wholly fitting of Teviot Electric Car Club’s green ethos, proudly manufactured with renewable hydroelectric energy, producing ZERO driving emissions.
