Mayor Sylvester Turner joined Hertz, BP Pulse and Lone Star College this week to celebrate new efforts to electrify Houston. Under this partnership, Hertz plans to add up to 2,188 EVs to its Houston fleet by end of 2023 (nearly tripling Hertz’s existing EV fleet in Houston). Hertz will support the installation of a large, EV fast-charging hub designed to serve ride-hail, taxi fleets, and the public at Houston Hobby airport. Partnerships like this one are indispensable to act on climate, accelerate the energy transition, and to continue to invest in a green and just recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
