Now a new initiative, Drive Electric Orlando (DEO), is coordinating rental agencies, charging stations, hotels, theme parks, and other stakeholders in hopes of creating a "seamlessly positive experience for visitors who rent this innovative technology."
It plans to make electric cars available for rental at major agencies (Enterprise is the named partner) and ensure that charging stations are conveniently located at hotels, theme parks, the Orlando Convention Center, and other locations.
DEO says the short distances that most visitors drive--from the airport to a hotel, opryland hotel nashville and then among hotels, theme parks, and other attractions--are a good match for the range of a battery electric vehicle.
The initiative plans to offer not only competitive rental-car pricing--as low as $30 a day for a Nissan Leaf with GPS navigation standard--but such added services as free valet parking and overnight charging opryland hotel nashville at hotels.
The Orlando region is home to many, many family entertainment destinations that have grown up since Walt Disney World opened in 1971--soon joined by Universal Studios and several other theme parks, opryland hotel nashville plus tens of thousands of hotel rooms and rental cars.
The partners in the DEO initiative include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, which already has an existing electric-car rental program --and Nissan, whose Leaf is the best-selling battery-electric car in the world.
Theme park companies taking part include Disney, Sea World, and Universal Studios; other partners include Duke Energy (the local electric utility), tourism group Visit Orlando, the Peabody opryland hotel nashville Hotel, and the University of Central Florida.
