Denver chosen for launch of 'Hertz Electrifies' investment in electric vehicles, charging stations

DENVER — Rental car company Hertz has announced a partnership with the city of Denver to launch its new “Hertz Electrifies” electric vehicle initiative.

“Hertz is proud to launch Hertz Electrifies in partnership with the city of Denver, which is fast becoming a center for sustainability under the leadership of Mayor Michael Hancock,” Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in a statement. Bonnie Trowbridge, executive director of Drive Clean Colorado, said investments like this go a long way in convincing prospective buyers that an electric vehicle can become their regular mode of transportation.

Currently, there are 4,625 charging ports across Colorado, according to the state, with nearly 73,000 EVs on the road. Trowbridge said tax incentives offered by the state help make electric vehicles more affordable for families, and increased locations to charge increase their usability.
