The New Gold Standard in Luxury Living - Envoy’s Mobile Amenity: Private EV Carshare Moves Your Property Forward

Imagine your residents stepping out of their sleek apartments early in the morning before heading downtown for a meeting. Instead of them trekking to public transit, the parking garage sports an electric car waiting for them, fully charged and ready to go. They hop in, saved from stress by the seamless, sustainable mobility at their fingertips.

No, it’s not a fantasy but the new standard in luxury living!

As a property manager or owner, you do your best to provide the top-tier amenities your resident’s demand. Perhaps you start with a pool and a deluxe gym, and then valet parking, marking just the beginning of what can be offered to enhance the resident experience. Then come the rooftop lounges, concierge services, coworking spaces, and more. With each upgrade, you raise the bar and reshape what residents expect from the places they call home.

Now, they are asking for smarter, more connected ways to live. Everyone in high-end multifamily and mixed-use communities wants convenience without compromise, and innovation with intention. Without a doubt, we are in the age of mobility as an amenity.

Is your property ready to keep up with this next frontier in luxury? Let Envoy take you there!

Introduction to Luxury Living Today - The Modern Resident Demands More

Luxury living today is about more than beautiful spaces-it’s about delivering experiences that truly set your community apart. Residents aren’t just looking for a nice gym or a sparkling pool anymore. They want amenities that feel personal, forward-thinking, and make everyday life easier and more memorable.

Think about it: resort-style perks like complimentary breakfast, high-speed Wi-Fi, and fitness centers used to be the gold standard. Now, they’re just the starting line. Today’s residents have seen it all-from infinity pools and yoga studios to pet spas and tech lounges. What once felt exclusive is now expected.

Why the shift? We live in an on-demand world. People order meals with a tap, split bills instantly, and track their well-being in real time. When it comes to mobility, they expect the same seamless experience. Residents want amenities that match their dynamic lifestyles-whether they’re fitness enthusiasts, tech lovers, or eco-conscious commuters. As a property manager or owner, creating a community that delivers on these expectations is essential.

Modern amenities like electric vehicles, private carshare, and sustainable transportation options aren’t just nice-to-have – they’re the new benchmarks for luxury. These features offer unmatched convenience and align perfectly with the growing demand for eco-friendly living.
By partnering with innovative mobility providers, you can elevate your property’s appeal and deliver the next level of luxury. Residents now expect more than just a spa or a green space-they want the freedom to move effortlessly and sustainably, right from their doorstep. These investments don’t just attract high-value residents; they boost property value and set your community apart in a crowded market.

Building a true sense of community is also at the heart of modern luxury living. Thoughtful amenities and services-especially those that are inclusive and accessible-help create a welcoming environment for everyone. Reliable, on-demand transportation options like Envoy’s private EV carshare make it easy for residents to connect, explore, and fully enjoy their surroundings.

In a competitive landscape, it’s these unique, forward-thinking amenities that define the new gold standard. By focusing on convenience, sustainability, and authentic community, you’ll create a living experience that today’s residents will value-and remember.

Mobility as a Must-Have Feature

Cities are becoming denser, and traffic is growing more chaotic. Unsurprisingly, the appeal of owning a vehicle is wearing thin. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) (or, as some call it, Mobility as a Feature (MaaF)), then, integrates mobility into our lives.

Think Uber and Grab, two of the many platforms that let you hail a ride in seconds from your phone. You don’t carry the weight of car payments, maintenance, or parking hassles. As a resident, one could wonder, “Why shouldn’t my home offer the same convenience?”

Additionally, offering bike-sharing programs can provide residents with an eco-friendly way to explore the city and stay active.

That’s the shift right there! People aren’t shopping for a residence but for experience. Mobility as an amenity matches the pace of life in the 21st century.

Convenience and Sustainability Redefining Luxury

Luxury doesn’t necessarily mean glitz or square footage anymore; besides convenience, sustainability has much to do with the new definition. Many actively seek out eco-friendly buildings, energy-efficient appliances, and green certifications because luxury, in today’s terms, is mindful.

Residents can discover the benefits of eco-friendly living through access to green certifications and energy-efficient appliances.

People don’t really want to have more, but to live better.

Mobility as an amenity fits into this equation perfectly. When you give residents access to zero-emission vehicles right on-site, they can simply open an app and go. You change their day, and that becomes more than a perk. It becomes a lifestyle.

Envoy—The Must-Have Amenity That Moves Your Property Forward

Here’s the truth: forward-thinking properties don’t just offer parking areas — they’re offering the cars themselves. And not just any cars, but sustainable ones reserved exclusively for residents. At Envoy, we bring these luxury amenities to you! Residents can easily book these electric vehicles through the Envoy app, ensuring a seamless and convenient experience.

Envoy is an EV carshare for private properties, multifamily apartments, and condos that give your building its own carshare fleet, ready to roll whenever the residents are. How does it work?

  • On-Site Vehicles: Get fully electric vehicles in dedicated parking spaces! No shuttles to pick up a car across town or unpredictable rideshare wait times.
  • Charging Stations: Each EV has a charging station, never letting your residents deal with dead batteries.
  • App-Based Access: Everything happens through the Envoy app. Download it, register, enter your property’s unique access code, and hit the road!

Envoy vs. Traditional Amenities

Don’t get us wrong; people still love a good rooftop deck and pool, especially on hot summer days. But let’s take a second to compare.

A golf simulator? It’s fun on a rainy Saturday. A bowling alley? It’s great for occasional laughs with friends. A high-end gym? It’s useful if you’re motivated.

An Envoy EV? A whole different impact!

Envoy is more than a special occasion feature you’ll only use once in a while, but something that makes your life easier every day, from grocery runs and appointments to day trips and commutes. It empowers your residents!

Plus, some traditional amenities take up a lot of space and budget and have limited utility. Envoy, in contrast, delivers high-value functionality and aligns with the future of transportation. It also works silently in the background, not requiring elaborate structures or staff for the service.

Envoy integrates into your luxury property’s flow, not asking anything from you or your residents. If that’s not luxury, what is?

Benefits for Property Owners and Community Managers

How can you upgrade your luxury amenities without breaking the bank (or breaking ground)? Envoy believes a car share program is the amenity that can make or break a lease decision, and we are the serious competitive edge you need.

By offering upscale amenities, property managers can attract high-value members who appreciate modern, eco-conscious living.

  • Attract and Retain High-Value Residents: Luxury renters want lifestyle-enhancing features that support their values. A private EV carshare shows that your property is modern, eco-conscious, and committed to convenience.
  • Boost Lease-Up Rates and Occupancy: Building more parking areas is expensive and space-intensive. With Envoy, you can serve more residents’ mobility needs without expanding your parking footprint. We scale with your property!
  • Differentiate Your Property in a Competitive Market: When every building has a pool and gym, how do you stand out? Be that smart, sustainable, and highly marketable one. Envoy is a visible and tangible upgrade.
  • New Revenue Streams and Offsets: Revenue generated from the usage of the vehicles is shared back to the property that can offset the amenity service cost and electricity charges incurred with vehicle charging. With high usage rates, the service could be free to the property!

The best part? You get all of these benefits without the operational headaches.

Property Value Enhancement

Ultimately, property managers can enhance property value by focusing on convenience, security, and unique amenities that meet the evolving needs of residents. Amenities like spas, fitness centers, and community spaces provide residents with a memorable living experience but luxury living communities with mobility access increases quality of life and stand out in a competitive market attracting high-end residents who value a premium lifestyle.

Fully Managed, Turnkey Solution

Don’t worry about the logistics of offering a carshare program. Envoy handles the heavy lifting! As a fully managed solution, we take over the fleet management, maintenance and cleaning, and insurance coverage of luxury electric vehicles. 24/7 customer support and roadside assistance included!

Envoy is a plug-and-play luxury amenity. It’s a win-win: Residents enjoy an exceptional experience, and you modernize without adding to your workload.

Resident Perks — Luxury, Convenience, and Savings

Envoy serves you and your residents.

  • On-Demand Access to High-End Electric Vehicles: Residents with a valid drivers license can reserve a premium EV straight from their phone anytime. It’s instant, reliable transportation with style!
  • No Burdens and Costs of Car Ownership: Having their own car without actually owning one? Help them say goodbye to monthly payments, insurance bills, parking fees, and surprise maintenance costs and still enjoy the rides.
  • Enhanced Resident Satisfaction and Lifestyle: When you make residents’ lives easier, they notice. Access to a shared EV delivers the flexibility that fits right into a modern, urban lifestyle. Residents can enjoy personal transportation options without the burdens of car ownership.

Make your residents feel and know that their home is all about a better life. Trust us when we say you cannot put a price on that!

Sustainability Without Sacrificing Style

Did you know that natural disasters between 2000 and 2013 affected an average of 211 million people each year? Looking ahead, climate change could push over 100 million people into extreme poverty.

We’re not trying to scare you. We’re just stating the facts that deserve our full attention.

Sustainability is no longer a niche concern, and modern residents want to live in communities that care about the planet just as much as they care about luxury. Eco-friendly amenities allow them to do their part in saving the Earth, but they don’t have to sacrifice style. By choosing eco-friendly amenities, residents can help protect the environment and contribute to a sustainable future. Envoy guarantees that.

Our all-electric fleet reduces carbon footprint, rolling in the following advantages.

Public and Environmental Health

Transportation accounts for nearly 28% and is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, with passenger vehicles accounting for over 16%. Fortunately, EVs produce zero tailpipe emissions! Every time a resident chooses an Envoy EV, their trip becomes a clean one.

By reducing emissions and promoting clean transportation, residents can also experience enhanced productivity and well-being.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

Most EV manufacturers have eight-year or 100,000-mile battery warranties, and studies show many batteries can last up to 15 years. The longer your fleet runs, the less you’ll need replacements.

Property managers can easily manage the fleet’s battery life through regular maintenance and monitoring.

Lower Fuel Costs

EVs are incredibly efficient. Add the federal tax credits and utility incentives for clean vehicles and infrastructure, and the cost-per-mile goes even lower!

Residents can benefit from lower fuel costs and the option to purchase clean energy credits.

Flexible Charging

Residents can charge EVs right where they park. Charging stations are conveniently located near and within parking areas, making it easy for residents to charge the vehicles. This level of ease encourages even more EV usage and green practices.

Energy Security and Economic Support

EVs help reduce dependence on petroleum and support domestic energy sources. They’re green and resilient to fuel disruptions and natural disasters!

With every Tesla, Porsche, Audi, and Jaguar from Envoy, you send a message: “Our property is part of the solution.” And in doing so, you’re positioning your property as a true leader in sustainable urban living without ever compromising on style.

Real-World Impact — Transforming Properties Nationwide

By now, it’s clear that Envoy isn’t just a concept. We have over 100 locations, proving there are more forward-thinking communities than you might think! One standout example is Aven in Downtown Los Angeles, a luxury apartment in one of the most electrifying and desirable residential neighborhoods. Envoy’s services are designed to be user-friendly, allowing drivers to easily access and manage their vehicles. In May 2019, Aven made the bold move of partnering with Envoy. The results? A 41.23% user conversion rate, meaning nearly half of those exposed to the service signed up (that’s 221 residents). An impressive 50% average user retention rate indicates that residents who tried it stuck with it. Aven residents drove over 40,141 electric miles using Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf vehicles. They had a total of 1,396 bookings and 517,782 minutes of car usage, which is over 8,600 hours of EV time on the road! The environmental impact? 10.92 metric tons of carbon emissions saved, and 177 trees planted. At Aven, Envoy demonstrates that mobility as an amenity works and thrives.

Of course, the real measure of success is what residents, property managers, and owners say. Here are some reviews from other Envoy partners and users:
