Hertz Begins Installing EV Chargers For Its First Tesla Model 3 Rentals
Hertz has started installing EV chargers for some of its first Tesla Model 3 rentals, Drive Tesla Canadareports. Hertz is preparing for the rise in customers choosing an EV over an ICE vehicle and is installing EV chargers at some of their rental lots. One such lot is at the Fort Myers International Airport where a recent permit, issued last week, showed that Hertz is building Tesla chargers for its new vehicles. The valuation of $50,000 shows that this will be a pretty large charging station.
Hertz has promised its customers that if they rent an EV, they will have access to free charging until January 31, 2022.
Uber’s vice president of mobility, Dennis Cinelli, was one of the first to have taken a Hertz Tesla Model 3 rental for a shift on the Uber network. He shared on Twitter that he drove for Uber in the EV and that he was really excited to experience the new partnership first hand.
