Ride-sharing company EcoSeat takes carpooling to a professional level, minimizing the environmental impact of trips longer than a commute but too short for air travel. Its fleet of leather-seated vans accommodates working on the go; technology options range from mobile wireless connectivity to power outlets and USB ports for charging laptops and cell phones. As their charges work, drivers follow highways to Charlotte’s neighboring cities or chauffeur airport trips to ensure no one has to wait on their roof to grab the tail of a passing zephyr.
