Hertz Global Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:HTZ) has paused its procurement of Polestar vehicles amid a fleet restructuring, aiming to downsize its EV fleet. The decision follows an agreement with Polestar to waive Hertz's purchase requirements for 2024, with Hertz committing not to sell its existing Polestar EVs prematurely. The partnership, announced in 2022, initially involved Hertz purchasing up to 65,000 EVs from Polestar over five years. However, due to higher repair costs for EVs, Hertz is scaling back its EV fleet, affecting its timeline for achieving a 25% electric fleet by the end of 2024. Hertz has begun selling Tesla vehicles from its fleet, with plans to sell about 20,000 EVs this year. Following the news, Polestar's shares fell 7.3%, and Hertz's shares dropped 5.6%.
