Top 10: Electric Fleets

The growth of electric delivery and vehicle hire fleets is driven by a convergence of regulatory mandates, economic benefits and significant technological breakthroughs.

The conditions are changing to such an extent that the latest projection is that global EV fleets will reach 116 million units in 2026, a 30% year-on-year increase.

With modern electric vans offering the security of longer ranges and charging infrastructure growing across the globe, the time is ripe for expansion.

After an aggressive push into electrification which took it to 50,000 EVs, the company began selling approximately 20,000 electric vehicles throughout 2024 and 2025.

This decision was driven by higher-than-expected repair costs and rapid depreciation of Tesla models, alongside shifts in the US and global political agenda.

In 2026, Hertz’s investment is focusing on a multi-brand fleet that includes General Motors and Polestar vehicles to better match consumer demand.
