Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 15, 2026 —
The Evie carshare service, operated by Hourcar in Minneapolis and St. Paul, is shutting down after 20 years, according to the information provided. The closure is attributed to financial challenges.
The announcement marks the end of a two-decade run for the service in the Twin Cities, but details about the shutdown have not been provided. No closing date or timeline was specified, and the available information does not say whether the service will stop operating in both cities at the same time.
The information provided does not identify the specific financial pressures behind the decision or describe Hourcar’s plans following the closure. It also does not state how many vehicles or customers are affected, whether employees will be impacted, or whether another service will take Evie’s place. Those details remain unconfirmed based on the available summary.
Evie’s departure will end its carshare operations in Minneapolis and St. Paul after 20 years. The summary does not provide information about the service’s history, the neighborhoods it served, or how its operations changed over that period. It also does not include a statement from Hourcar or from customers.
Further information about the shutdown—including its timing and any arrangements for existing users—was not included in the material provided. For now, the confirmed details are that Evie is closing, Hourcar operated the service, it served Minneapolis and St. Paul, and financial challenges were cited as the reason.
