“We appreciate that Enterprise is on the cutting edge of renting state-of-the-art, green vehicles,”

Enterprise added the Volt to its fleet in early January and is working with all auto manufacturers to make electric vehicles (EV) available to consumers for rental at its neighbourhood and airport locations, and through its WeCar car-sharing program.
"We appreciate that Enterprise is on the cutting edge of renting state-of-the-art, green vehicles," said Steve Mazo, manager of the Automotive Research Centre ramada inns for the Automobile Club of Southern California.
In preparation for the vehicles, Enterprise installed charging stations at select locations throughout California. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) manufacturer EV-Charge America installed the new multi-vehicle charging station at Enterprise's Mark Christopher Auto Centre rental location.
While most EVs can travel about 100 miles on a single charge, extended-range EVs like the Volt can travel up to 379 miles on a full charge and full tank of gas due to an on-board gas-powered generator.
"We will continue to integrate new, clean fuel and engine technologies into our fleet to promote new alternatives like the Volt and help them become commercially viable," said Lee Broughton, director of corporate sustainability for Enterprise ramada inns Holdings, the parent company of Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
