Let's Talk Elio Bring On 2017!

I was thinking of a few other things that Elio could do for 2017. I know they have a contractor for an App for their cars (Infinite Skyz). I think there are a few things they could integrate into it.
1. Elio Share - In many big cities in the US we have a bike sharing system. In Europe, they have an Electric car sharing system (cars about the size of a Smart car). Why not have an Elio Share? Instead of it being where you need to keep plugging the cars in all of the time and supporting that whole system, just have a few people that go around and fill up the 8 gallon tank when the app says it's needed. Then people could just share Elios without having the fear of running out of juice if they use if for two days.

2. Uber-E. Why not have the Elio app integrate Uber. This would be instead of Uber XL but a Uber Mini (call it Uber-E instead). This is a cheaper ride but only for a single person with one carry on (i.e. laptop or backpack). Integrate this into the Elio App and you now can have Elio owners who can use they car for ride sharing that caters to just the person who is by themselves.

I would think that option 1 would result in fleet sales and option 2 would open up the market for people who have an Elio and want to make a few extra bucks. You could easily own an Elio and never have to pay for gas again. The money you make can easily pay for a tank of gas. All you have to do is profit $32 and you more than paid for your first fill up and then paid for a second tank.

Maybe 2017 Elio could push these programs and even get more people interested.
