Hertz launches Electric Vehicle car club in Oxford

Hertz, the car rental company, is setting up a car sharing club in Oxford that will only offer electric vehicles.

This probably makes a lot more sense for most people than buying an electric car. Members of the car club can rent the Nissan Leafs by the hour for as little as £5 and can recharge them at any one of 32 charging points round the city (due to expand to 60 charging points soon).
