A new partnership between The Hertz Corp. and the City of Houston will bring 2,100 rental electric vehicles to Houston. Dubbed Hertz Electrifies Houston, the program aims to boost Houston’s EV rental fleet, as well add to the city’s charging infrastructure and EV education and training opportunities.
“Our goal is to convert all non-emergency, light-duty municipal vehicles to electric by 2030,” Mayor Sylvester Turner says in a statement. “This partnership with Hertz will provide an invaluable boost to achieve this goal and the goal of our Climate Action Plan for Houston to be a net-zero city by 2050.”
