Hertz, one of the world’s leading rental car companies, recently provided hundreds of electric vehicles to Arizona travelers who descended upon Phoenix for Super Bowl LVII. To ensure their customers had a smooth experience, Hertz partnered with Blink Charging to provide free EV charging. This partnership is a great example of Hertz’s commitment to growing their EV fleet and providing an opportunity for many to experience driving an electric vehicle for the first time.
Michael D. Farkas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Blink Charging, applauded Hertz’s efforts, saying, “As a pioneer in the industry, Blink is excited to have Hertz showcase the incredible benefits and value of electric vehicles and to see how convenient EV charging can be.”
Hertz has been expanding its list of partners to support their EVs, most notably partnering with BP Pulse to install a national network of EV charging solutions. The announcement with Blink, a network that’s strong in Arizona, was a great way to ensure the company’s Super Bowl customers had plenty of charging options.
Dave Knudtson, Hertz Division Vice President, said, “We [were] excited to welcome thousands of travelers to Phoenix for the big game and partner with Blink to provide free charging for our EV customers. It’s encouraging to see more people renting EVs, especially when traveling to major events like this. Together with Blink, we look forward to providing a great EV rental and charging experience.”
Hertz has tens of thousands of EVs available for rent at more than 500 locations across 38 states, with a plan for up to 25% of its fleet to be fully electric by the end of 2024. This partnership with Blink is just one example of Hertz’s commitment to providing customers with an easy and convenient EV rental experience.
