Hertz shares plunged as much as 12% after reporting a deeper-than-expected quarterly loss.
The rental car company is struggling with the depreciation and high repair costs of its electric vehicle fleet, primarily consisting of Tesla vehicles.
Hertz initially planned to make 25% of its fleet electric by 2024 but has decided to downsize its EV fleet by 30,000 vehicles.
The company experienced quarterly losses throughout 2021 and its stock is down nearly 69% year-to-date.
