Hertz Australia in the spotlight for “misleading” electric-car policy

The rental-car giant has been accused of billing customers for not topping up electric hire cars to the maximum charge level – even though
they physically wouldn't be able to do so unless the charging station is next door.

A leading car rental company is reviewing its practices after it was discovered it has been quietly limiting the battery capacity of its electric
cars – and billing customers for not returning the vehicle with maximum charge.

Hertz customers borrowing an electric Polestar 2, available at 22 sites across the country, are told in their rental agreement that the vehicle
is handed over with 90 per cent charge, and must be topped up to the same level when it is returned – or they will incur a fee.

However, the company has locked the vehicles from charging beyond 90 per cent, so unless the charging station is in close proximity to the
Hertz location, drivers are unable to hand the car back without dropping below 90 per cent charge – and paying a fee.
