Hertz Screwed Up Its Tesla Gamble Because of Chargers

From Torque News.

Hertz made a big splash in 2021 announcing a huge order of Teslas. You remember that? It seemed like a perfect marriage: a rental car giant embracing tens of thousands of electric vehicles from Tesla. We all were very excited. But for many renters, the dream quickly turned into a frustrating reality. The problem? Charging.

I read in many places and couldn’t find one single place where I could find Hertz putting its own chargers. In fact, on its website Hertz repeatedly points to charging options nearby.

Hertz screwed up. They didn’t bother putting charging stations in their lots. Renting an EV car and then having to immediately have to go take it some place to recharge for 45min made the experience suck.
