French billionaire Vincent Bollore is setting up the largest U.S. car-sharing program for electric vehicles to promote advanced batteries and services offered by the conglomerate he leads.
Bollore Group, the holding company he chairs, is investing about $35 million to create the BlueIndy service in Indianapolis, the group said yesterday in a statement. The program, beginning within eight months, will use as many as 500 of Bollore’s Bluecars and 1,000 charging stations, Bollore said in a telephone interview.
