EV Car-Share Program Liability Exposure

Riverside County

Summary

A $1.8 million state-funded electric car-share program with operator EV Guide launches in June in Corona, Moreno Valley, and Hemet. Menifee's representative pressed on who is liable if a rented car crashes, and staff agreed to research whether any sponsoring agency has ever been sued and bring back MOU liability language.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

WRCOG funds don't buy the cars — grant money flows mostly to EV Guide, including roughly $300,000 that went to the operator's insurance policies.

✅Who benefits

Residents near transit centers, parks, and libraries in the three launch cities who need affordable mobility options.

⚠️Who could be affected

Potentially WRCOG and member agencies if litigation names sponsoring agencies despite indemnity provisions.
