Plug-in cars are like other cars in many ways. They meet the same safety standards. They have plenty of room for passengers and cargo. They’re practical for everyday use, with options for fast-charging and long-distance driving.
But that’s where the similarities end.
Driving a plug-in car is exciting. Electric drive engines accelerate quickly – but very quietly. Some electric cars can reach speeds over 100 mph – creating a new, exhilarating driving experience.
They’re highly efficient – and very smart. Sophisticated screen displays give drivers more information – and control. Some electric vehicles have a ‘regenerative’ braking system that captures and restores energy to the battery when the car comes to a stop. With fewer moving parts, plug-in cars require less maintenance.
Owners of plug-in cars soon get used to driving past the gas station – while feeling good about saving money and the environment.
Of course you don't have to purchase a plug-in car to experience it. You could rent one and see how it feels. Contact Hertz for the latest plug-in car rentals in your area: www.connectbyhertz.com/ev.
