Resources needed
The total cost of all four cars was ~ 100 000 EUR
Evidence of success
For 1 car these years, the CO2 reduction is 7,750,000 g, or 7.75 tons of CO2.
So for 4 cars these years the CO2 reduction is 31 ton.
The initial data is that the reduction is 155g per km and the mileage is currently around 50,000 km.

Potential for learning or transfer
In our good practice we can see, that if city municipality is using only 4 electric cars, than the reduction of CO2 is already big. And citizens also will consider to buy electric cars knowing the results of reduction of CO2 seeing the good practice of local municipality.
