It's really a good sign of the changing future when an oil giant decides to lead the way towards electric vehicles.This may be another Hertz (We fucked up boarding the EV band wagon" moment in less than five years.
I dont get why a petroleum giant would set that much money on fire to do that.
Where do they plan to get the power.....Diesel generators?
Deployment and timing are critical, Hertz got a new CEO who decided he was going to go big or go home, and he went home in about 2 years, leaving his former company in serious financial distress, which was already the case and he only exacerbated that.
His gamble was too reckless, he had barely been there 6 months when he rolled the dice on EV's. For starters, rental car EV's should have been limited to warm, southern states.
