Hertz’s interim CEO, Mark Fields Bullish on the Future of Electric Vehicles
Hertz’s interim CEO, Mark Fields, stated in a press release that “Electric vehicles are now mainstream, and we’ve only just begun to see rising global demand and interest.”
The press release also sites Pew stating that 40 percent of consumers want to purchase an electric vehicle for their next car, and that EV sales were up 200 percent last year, and the trend is growing, essentially affirming the move towards mainstream electric vehicles.
Hertz aims to offer access to their new fleet of Teslas starting in November at airport and neighborhood locations in the US and parts of Europe, and will build thousands of additional charging stations to expand their service network.
Tesla’s largest order to date helped their stock prices soar, reaching over a $1 trillion dollar market cap. In addition, Hertz’s purchase marks a big turn around for the company as they were previously struggling with bankruptcy during the pandemic, which brought the travel industry to a stand still.
