The trial will follow Hertz, and leaders from five other industry segments, as they trial Plugless Power systems on their own electric vehicles.
The Plugless Power system is supplied by Evatran.
Deployment at Hertz’s corporate headquarters will be completed in this month.
Hertz is the first car-rental company to deploy EVs and plug-in hybrid electric on three continents in the US, the UK, and China.
The company is forming partnerships with automakers, charging-station providers, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, corporations and other stakeholders to make EVs easily accessible to consumers.
Hertz chairman and CEO Mark Frissora said Hertz is committed to its Global EV program, introducing electric vehicles into our rental fleet on three continents, North America, Asia and Europe.
"We’re excited to participate in Plugless Power’s pilot program so that we can be on the ground floor of this new technology; learning key findings about EV wireless charging. As we move forward our goal is to have a variety of charging options for EV customer use, aligned with the charging equipment installed by EV manufacturers," Frissora said.
