Will We All Be Hiring Electric Cars In The USA?
Hi all,
Here at usrentacar.co.uk we try to remain as green as possible, so when I
read that Enterprise Car Rental ( Alamo car hire’s Parent Company) and Hertz believe that they could be offering electric cars from as early as January 2011 I had to look a deeper in to it.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car, made public their plans to offer around 500 Nissan Leaf all-electric cars last week, initially at dealerships in Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland and Seattle.
Hertz announced a few months ago that it to would be offering the Nissan Leafs next year at a handful of locations in the U.S. including New York, Washington and San Francisco.
About the Leaf
The Nissan Leaf is a 5 dr hatchback compact car. A fully charged Leaf has a range of about 100 miles however it takes up to eight hours at a charging station or 20 hours from a standard home outlet to reach maximum.
Problems
Will Enterprise and Hertz price normal customers out of having an electric car?
At present if you return a normal car without petrol you’d be charged a fee, what would happen if you return the electric car empty?
Would you hire an electric car?
How much would you be willing to pay ,fully insured for a week?
Kind regards,
James
