Electric Auto

The Hertz Corporation announced today that New York will be the first city to receive electric vehicles (EV) as part company’s Hertz Global EV initiative with cars also being delivered to Washington DC and San Francisco. Beginning December 15, 2010, Hertz will make next generation of electric vehicles available to the general public through its Connect by Hertz car sharing operation and, starting today, local area residents and visitors can go to www.hertzev.com to sign up to be among the first to try an EV such as the smart Electric Drive and Nissan LEAF.
