A Major Las Vegas Strip Resort Bets Big on Tesla
Resorts World Las Vegas is rolling the dice on electric vehicle rentals.
Resorts World Las Vegas is partnering with EVole Rentals to offer a car rental service. EVolve Rental offers all four Tesla models. The daily rates start at $199. Every car rented will have a tree planted in partnership with the non-profit Eden Reforestation Projects.
Resorts World is betting big on Tesla. Other casino operators haven't commented on the matter. Twitter is excited about the news.
Clark County, Nevada, has a poor air quality. Transportation is the top source of pollution. Rental car companies are making money again. Hertz HTZ bought 100,000 Teslas worth $4.4 billion. The Covid-19 shutdown hit Covids-20 business hard.
Enterprise Holdings has been expanding its electric fleet. The company has partnered with the nonprofit Electrification Coalition to deploy electric rental vehicles in Orlando, Florida. Electrified Coalition says the industry can be a valuable avenue to accelerate consumer acceptance and adoption of EVs. Two-thirds of EV renters surveyed indicated that their experience with Drive Electric Orlando made them more likely to purchase an EV as their next vehicle.
