Rental EVs and New EVs:

  • •    EVs from major rental car firms
  • •    We will review a future EV (2024) from Honda that is below $50k 
  • •    There is an upcoming commercial vehicle from Mercedes.
  • •    Five Reasons Having an Electric Vehicle Saves You Money

Manufacturer’s Strategy:

  • •    Toyota EV Strategy evolves.
  • •    VW’s sub-$25K EV
