Though electric vehicle (EV) adoption is still in its early phases, market shares and global demand for EVs are continuing to grow at a steady pace.
That being said, we are exploring strategic solutions to successfully execute electrification across our fleet. As a global mobility leader, we have not only embraced the transition to electrification, but we are also committed to doing so in a thoughtful way.
At Enterprise Mobility, we’re tackling the complexities of transforming transportation head-on to put our customers first and work with others to purposefully invest in the infrastructure that will support the sustainable future we’re building together.
Electric Vehicles
Our business can play a unique role in introducing customers to EVs. Many use rental as an extended test drive with the chance to experience new vehicles and vehicle technologies. We are well-positioned to build consumer awareness and assist with understanding of the technology. Our vast vehicle rental and mobility lines offer an opportunity for market exposure.
We’re taking a comprehensive approach to build a viable EV strategy. For example, EVs require a robust and well-considered infrastructure in order to generate value for everyone. That’s why we’re bringing together city, state and federal officials, as well as electric utilities, infrastructure providers and other partners to implement pilot plans in select markets based on localized customer demand, infrastructure and vehicle availability among other factors.
Airport Ecosystems Study
Enterprise Mobility and Xcel Energy collaborated to explore the future electric power needs of U.S. airports and the industries that contribute to their ecosystems with the “Electrifying Airport Ecosystems Study.” The results of this study underscore the need for collaboration and partnership across industries to implement essential upgrades to airports’ power infrastructure to meet future operational, cargo and passenger needs.

Electric Vehicle (EV) FAQs:
Just like all rental vehicles, EV rates are determined by several supply and demand factors including location, dates of travel, length of rental and availability, as well as when the reservation was made. Rates are noted online where EVs are available.
Customers can check availability and reserve an electric vehicle through Enterprise, National or Alamo by going online or calling to make a reservation.
Customers are responsible for paying for their own charging while the vehicle is in their possession and access to public EV charging varies by market, as does the cost to use the chargers. Some charging stations are free and others have a higher cost, typically dependent on the charging speed. There are local charging networks that customers can connect with to assist them with finding and paying for charging while driving a rental EV [for example: PlugShare.com]. This is a component of our overall ongoing research and learning to evaluate the EV landscape within our operations and to understand a long-term best practice that is best for our customers and our business.
