Hertz said Polestar cars would be available beginning this spring in Europe; and later in 2022 in North America and Australia. The Florida-based rental car company said that it would initially order the Polestar 2 sedan.

Hertz in October announced its order to purchase 100,000 electric cars from Tesla, primarily the EV maker’s Model 3. In late March, Hertz added Tesla’s mid-size SUV Model Y to its electric vehicle fleet, according to the car rental firm’s website. Polestar, which was founded by China’s Geely and Volvo Cars, is set to merge with special purpose acquisition company Gores Guggenheim Inc this year.

The Hertz partnership “will bring the amazing experience of driving an electric car to a wider audience, satisfying a broad variety of our mutual customers’ short- and longer-term mobility requirements,” Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said in a statement.

Canada may have hit its long-awaited electric vehicle turning point | CBC NewsCompelling carmakers to sell a specific percentage of EVs has been proven to work not just in places like California but right here in Canada.
