Zilch Hub at Fendalton Library, 4 Jeffreys Road in Fendalton, is a car-sharing hub for electric cars. Customers book a car by the hour, the day or the weekend, and fuel, charging, parking and insurance are included. Once registered, a customer picks a hub and car, unlocks it with a phone and drives. The car is returned to its reserved bay, plugged in and the booking ended. Zilch's hubs are in city centres, business parks and airports, and the Christchurch network started in 2017 as Yoogo Share.
Longer-term electric car subscriptions are also offered, with monthly payments, delivery to the customer and maintenance included. The website lists models including the Hyundai Kona, Hyundai Ioniq, Tesla Model 3 and BYD Atto 3, and gives an indicative rate of about $862 a month as at 2026 for a longer subscription. The subscription is charged monthly for up to 12 months, and the customer is responsible for returning the car at the end.
