Hertz, the leading car rental company, has announced a new partnership with the City of Orlando aimed at promoting the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and accelerating the development of EV charging infrastructure within the city. The collaboration also aims to provide education and training opportunities for local residents interested in learning about EV technology.
As part of the partnership, Hertz will be expanding their electric vehicle rental fleet in Orlando, making it easier for residents and tourists to experience the benefits of driving an EV. This initiative will not only contribute to reducing carbon emissions, but it will also provide individuals with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest advancements in electric vehicle technology.
In addition to expanding the EV rental fleet, Hertz and the City of Orlando will work together to install new EV charging stations throughout the city. This will help address the issue of range anxiety and provide EV owners with convenient and accessible charging options. The partnership aims to significantly increase the number of charging stations in Orlando, making it one of the most EV-friendly cities in the country.
The collaboration will also focus on education and training programs to raise awareness about the benefits of electric vehicles and promote the development of a skilled workforce in the EV industry. Hertz and the City of Orlando will work together to organize workshops, seminars, and training sessions to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to work with EVs. This will not only create job opportunities but also support the growth of the EV market in the region.
Both Hertz and the City of Orlando are committed to building a more sustainable future and believe that this partnership will play a crucial role in achieving that goal. By expanding the availability of electric vehicle rentals, improving charging infrastructure, and providing education and training opportunities, they hope to encourage more people to adopt EVs and contribute to the transition to cleaner transportation.
