Enterprise Rent-A-Car has added five new Nissan LEAF electric vehicles (EVs) and an EV charging station to its Northampton, Mass.-based rental fleet, joining the location's existing complement of hybrid vehicles.
‘We selected this location because Northampton is a progressive community equipped with multiple charging stations that are open to the public,’ says Larry Kucharski, vice president and general manager for Enterprise Holdings in western Massachusetts.
Lee Broughton, corporate sustainability officer for Enterprise Holdings, says it costs about $2 in electricity to fully charge an EV such as the LEAF.
The company also offers other EVs and hybrids, including the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid and Chevy Volt extended-range EV, at various rental locations in the U.S.
