Hertz aims for a quarter of its fleet to be electric by 2024
BP and Hertz to develop North American EV charging network
The oil major’s charging subsidiary will support Hertz’s growing EV fleet
BP has signed a memorandum of understanding with one of the world’s largest vehicle rental companies, Hertz, for the development of a network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in North America. The network will be powered by BP Pulse, formerly California-based fleet-charging and energy management firm Amply, which BP acquired in December last year. “This is a landmark moment. It shows the power of bringing together BP’s digital and operational capabilities with a partner like Hertz,” says Vic Shao, president of BP Pulse’s fleet division in the US and founder of Amply. “Together with its industry-leading electrification ambitions, we can change the future of electric rental cars.”
