Electric handbrake at full speed – what really happens?
Anyone looking for the handbrake in modern cars often finds no classic lever anymore, but a switch or button. But what happens if you operate this electronic handbrake while driving? That's exactly what a driver wanted to know – and the answer shows: It depends.
192 tons of CO₂ saved – and we are only at the beginning.
This number is not just a statistic. It is the result of thousands of trips – from commutes in the early morning, from weekend shopping on Saturday, from doctor's appointments, club events and spontaneous visits to friends. It shows what is possible when many people take responsibility together – and when sustainable mobility does not remain theory, but becomes everyday life.
Bürgenstock Resort adopts Sponti-Car I mobé – modern mobility benefit for employees
The Bürgenstock Resort introduces a visible mobility benefit with Sponti-Car Mobé: A Sponti-Car is available to all employees cost-effectively, 24/7 via app – including operation, insurance, cleaning, charging infrastructure and reliable support. Planned, climate-positive mobility directly at the workplace.
Fewer new cars, but hardly any climate benefit
In Switzerland, so few new cars are being purchased as has not been the case for decades. In 2025, only 233’737 new passenger vehicles were registered – a historic low. At first glance, this development seems positive, because fewer new cars supposedly mean less resource consumption. However, for climate protection this development is problematic, because the reality on the streets tells a different story.
Start warm instead of freezing.
Start warm instead of freezing – so you can get going with the Sponti-Car relaxed in winter
The cold season presents drivers every year with the same challenge: ice on the windows, cold seats and uncomfortable minutes in a frosty vehicle. But right here a big advantage of the electric car shows itself – especially the Sponti-Car.
Charge cheaply on the go: avoid roaming, plan trips, reduce costs
Charging affordably on the go means: avoid roaming, check prices before starting and plan charging stops smartly. AC instead of expensive DC, short charges in the optimal SoC window – and the simplest solution: Sponti-Car hubs with fixed prices without roaming. (see Tages-Anzeiger guide)
SRF reports on Horgen's carsharing success with Sponti-Car
The sustainable mobility offering of the municipality of Horgen is attracting attention: SRF reported in a recent short podcast about the community-used e-cars that can be rented by the public outside opening hours and on weekends.
Adjustment of Sponti-Car rates at some locations
Sponti-Car has always stood for simple, flexible and very affordable mobility for everyone. In order for us to be able to offer this service reliably in the long term and with the usual high quality, various municipalities have decided to moderately increase the hourly rate of their vehicles.
Mobility project in the Rheincity Buchs
In Rheincity Buchs, RAL Bau and Sponti-Car are jointly implementing an innovative residential mobility project: All residents have an electric car available directly in the quarter – 20 hours per month free of charge. The modern residential quarter combines sustainable construction, communal living forms and intelligent mobility. By the permanently installed sharing location on site, owning a private car becomes unnecessary, saving resources and reducing traffic. Rheincity thus sends a strong signal for future-oriented living in the urban environment.
Employee mobility hospitality and hotel industry – Sponti-Car Mobé
The Grand Resort Bad Ragaz has recently offered its employees a sustainable and free mobility solution in cooperation with Sponti-Car (mobé). As part of a pilot project, an electric vehicle is available on the resort grounds that employees can use free of charge for up to three hours per month. The goal is to make modern mobility tangible, increase employee satisfaction, and at the same time reduce ecological impact by fewer parking spaces and shared vehicle use. As the first hotel in Switzerland with such a benefit, the resort sends a strong signal for sustainable employer attractiveness.
