ESTERO - As it continues to distance itself from the shadow of its 2020 bankruptcy, The Hertz Corp. announced Monday an electronic vehicle program that includes purchasing 100,000 Teslas and installing EV charging stations across its operations worldwide by the end of 2022.

The new program will take effect beginning in early November, and continue expanding through the end of the year, allowing customers to rent Tesla Model 3s at the company’s locations. The company will instal 3,000 charging stations in the U.S. and Europe to support those vehicles.
