The first delivery of GM electric vehicles will be carried out in the first quarter of 2023 when Hertz received the initial batch of Bolt EV and Bolt Euv. The number of shipments will increase when GM increases their EV production capacity between 2023 and 2025.
Increasing the production capacity of GM electric vehicles will be driven by the opening of the Ultium Cells battery cell factory in Ohio, Tennessee, and Michigan.
“We are thrilled to partner with GM on this initiative, which will dramatically expand our EV of hertz customers, Including Leisure and Business Travelers, Rideshare Drivers and Corporates.” said CEO Hertz Stephen Scherr
Previously, Hertz also used electric vehicles from Polestar and Tesla for their rental fleet.
