re: Hertz Unloading EV Fleet In Massive Fire Sale: Lost Hundreds Of Millions In EV Gamble…

This is just another example of "group think" in the executive offices, akin to the bud light fiasco.

Hertz built its reputation on quickly getting a person checked in/out and on their way at the airport (remember oj ads). Decades ago they realized "ease of use" was the number one item on the agenda of customers.

Flash forward, now they give a car to many people who have never driven an electric car, in a strange city, then you have to be paranoid the whole time you are driving it that the charge will die, then you have to figure out where a charging station is with fear of taking a wrong turn and ending up in some place akin to the 9th ward.

When they suggested this, someone in the executive suite should have suggested they go full monty and just use horses, to illustrate how stupid the idea was.
