Car rental company Hertz has signed an agreement to buy 65,000 electric cars from Volvo-owned Polestar, Reuters reports.

The cars will be delivered over five years and will be available to rental car customers in Europe this spring and later this year in North America. The deal is part of Hertz's ambition to reduce its emissions.

The agreement with Hertz will “spread the incredible experience of driving an electric car to a wider audience,” according to Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar.
