Electric　vehicle　timeshare　rental　is　a　form　of　sustainable　transportation　and　is　growing　in　popularity　around　the　world.　An　analysis　of　the　present　situation　is　thus　useful　for　transport　management　and　planning.　The　study　reported　in　this　paper　aimed　to　clarify　the　usage　and　operation　of　electric　vehicle　timeshare　rental　schemes　in　Beijing,　China,　including　mobility　patterns,　pricing　structure,　willingness　and　factors　affecting　satisfaction　through　data　analysis　and　questionnaires.　The　results　showed　that　users　had　distinctive　socio-demographic　attributes.　Mobility　patterns　represented　a　regularity　in　both　time　and　space,　and　the　pricing　structure　was　a　significant　factor　affecting　the　users＇　opinions.　Eight　factors,　including　age　and　cost,　showed　strong　correlation　with　user　satisfaction.　It　is　concluded　that　electric　vehicle　timeshare　rental　is　a　promising　travel　mode　that　could　replace　private　cars　and　promote　the　development　of　electric　vehicles.　The　results　of　this　study　can　contribute　to　programming　and　management　of　electric　vehicle　timeshare　rental　schemes　in　the　future.
