Rental car giant Hertz Global Holdings Inc. has announced plans to buy 65,000 electric vehicles from automaker Polestar over the next five years in a move designed to attract EV-curious customers. Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr and Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath discuss the deal on "Bloomberg Markets."

I've had mine Polestar 2 for 1.5 years now, best car I've owned.
As a former taxi driver I've driven Peugeot, Mercedes, Opel, BMW, VW etc. but Polestar is my favorite.
Good winter car because winters here are nasty.

Good move Hertz....Polestar over Teslas ....YES. and ths is comming from an internal combustion nut i go electric Polestar would be my first 😊 Teslas are over hyped and the company is too snobbish in my opinion.

Can’t get these into your fleet fast enough. I was hoping to rent a Polestar for my upcoming trip, but they are not available yet in your inventory.

It’s not accurate that Hertz simply rented out cars that previously had been reported stolen and subsequently rented after being found with the report not being rescinded

"We know where people are going"

[reflectionOfLyf]

Only if they find people to rent their cars.

Hertz is "saying" its buying EV to pump the stock, no other reason

[hangender]

No one is renting cars so it doesn't matter how many woke cars you have

[frederickmiles]

LOL who would be crazy enough or desperate enough to lease, buy, or rent a legacy auto's EV? It is just as bad watching Modi trying to buy military hardware from Putin, just silly.

Hertz will go under buying these car's will put to much on our electric grid to keep all these car's charged up.
