“I’ve been driving an EV for years and knowing Hertz is leading the way with their electric fleet speaks to how the world is changing and the way companies are approaching being environmentally and socially conscious.” “Hertz is changing the game when it comes to the future of mobility and has come through for me time and time again,” Brady said. The company also unveiled a new marketing push featuring NFL legend Tom Brady. “This Hertz deal is a ‘major feather in the cap’ for Tesla and speaks to where demand is heading in the EV transformation hitting the auto sector globally.” Hertz is pushing to “offer the largest EV rental fleet in North America and one of the largest in the world.” Arnd Wiegmann/REUTERS “While Hertz is in the early stages of electrifying its rental car fleet, Tesla getting an order of this magnitude highlights the broader EV adoption underway in our opinion as part of this oncoming green tidal wave now hitting the US,” Dan Ives, managing director at Wedbush Securities, said in a note. It’s the first big announcement for Hertz since it emerged from bankruptcy in June under new owners, Knighthead Capital Management and Certares Management. The rental-car giant - which emerged from bankruptcy just four months ago - said Monday that Tesla’s new mega-fleet of Model 3 sedans will start becoming available at select Hertz locations in major US markets and overseas early next month. In the most recent quarter, Hertz said it rented cars for an average of $64 a day - much higher than the $42 average two years ago before a worldwide microchip shortage sparked a global shortage of vehicles, according to a Hertz shareholder. Jefferies analyst Hamzah Mazari, who closely covers the car rental space, told The Post he believes in a normal car rental environment Hertz might rent Tesla 3s for about $85 a day, a premium price but lower than the Hertz shareholder predicts. And with a rental-car shortage continuing to rage industrywide, the rate might be closer to $200 a day in the near term, according to a source. Meanwhile, one Hertz shareholder said he doesn’t believe the company will rent out its Teslas for cheap, speculating that it’s eyeing a rate averaging $120 a day - similar to what it currently charges for a BMW. Shares of Tesla started trading at $950.53 per share, near an all-time high as the electric car manufacturer nears a $1 trillion valuation.
Shares of both companies surged Monday on the news, with shares of Tesla - headed by tech billionaire Elon Musk - up 9 percent, at $991.95, hitting an all-time high and giving the company a market cap of more than $1 trillion.

The deal, which was described as an “initial order,” is slated to be fulfilled over the next 14 months, and Tesla is meanwhile free to cut similar deals with other car-rental giants as a global shortage of automobiles persists. That works out to about $42,000 per car, which is close to the current list price and about 25 percent more than what Hertz has typically paid in its wholesale deals. Under the mega-deal - the biggest-ever rental-car order for electric vehicles - the companies said Hertz will shell out $4.2 billion for the 100,000 Model 3s. Shares of Tesla surged past the $1 trillion mark on Monday - making it the first auto maker to surpass the stratospheric threshold - after Hertz announced a deal to buy 100,000 of Elon Musk’s electric cars in an overhaul of its rental fleet.
