As Rob says, the interesting puzzle is the insurance. At Winslow
Cohousing we solved that by separating the car sharing from the
community. There is an LLC that owns an electric car and soon will also
own a pickup truck. the LLC has insurance which isn't that unreasonable
(people below a certain age and above a certain age, I think 70, have to
pay more) Individuals join the LLC (buy-in), and then share expenses for
the car/truck and there is a sign up sheet for use that I think is kept
in the car. These are special purpose vehicles.
We live walking distance to town, so walking is always an option as
well. There is talk about sharing other cars as well, to reduce the
entire net ownership of cars in the community but are still figuring
that out.

Everything else is easy.
