The development comes months after Hertz announced its order to purchase 100,000 electric cars from Tesla, primarily the EV maker’s Model 3 vehicles.


News of the massive deal had triggered a meteoric rally in Tesla’s stock, helping it surpass $1 trillion in market value. However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk later said the company had not signed a contract with Hertz.

Last month, Florida-based Hertz named former Goldman Sachs finance chief Stephen Scherr as its top boss, replacing interim CEO Mark Fields.


Tesla handed over the first batch of Model Y cars made at its 5 billion euro ($5.5 billion) Gruenheide plant to clients on March 23. The EV carmaker launched its first European production hub with the biggest investment in a German car factory in recent history.
