Solar-powered recharging stations for plug-in hybrid HOURCARs were announced in St. Paul.
Features of the cars include a car-sharing computer and a solar-powered recharging system.
HOURCARs are available at hourly rates that include the costs of gasoline, maintenance and insurance.
Members reserve HOURCARs online for any time up to three months ahead of their trip.
HOURCARs are part of a program of the nonprofit Neighborhood Energy Connection, whose mission is to "reduce pollution, conserve resources and improve quality of life by offering tools for energy-efficient living."
