Back in July last year, Hertz gathered a bunch of people at a Los Angeles International Airport parking lot festooned with cones and sandbagged safety barriers and a bunch of electric vehicles: Teslas, Chevys, Kias, Polestars. “For customers who are curious about electric vehicles, there’s no better way to experience one than with a test drive at Hertz, which has the largest rental fleet of EVs in the U.S.,” Laura Smith, an executive with the company, said in a press release accompanying the event. So much excitement around the future of automotive technology!
