HAMBURG, Germany, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XCHG Limited (“XCharge” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: XCH), a global leader in integrated EV charging solutions, today announced a collaboration with Hertz (NASDAQ: HTZ) to upgrade Hertz’s EV charging offerings at US airport rental facilities. XCharge has completed charging station construction at Hertz’s rental sites in three major East Coast airports and has secured a pipeline of future projects at additional Hertz airport locations along the eastern seaboard.

XCharge’s high-speed chargers and efficient installation process have rapidly strengthened Hertz’s airport charging infrastructure, helping Hertz meet its service standards and goals for expanding its EV rental fleet. Given their relatively small footprint and utility grid constraints, U.S. airport rental car locations face unique challenges in EV adoption. XCharge’s comprehensive solutions for Hertz were designed to work within these boundaries, offering fast, simple installation without the need for intensive site upgrades, maximizing efficiency and reducing the complexity of construction.

Hertz operations at major airports now charge EVs with XCharge’s cutting-edge C6 charging stations

Furthermore, XCharge’s Level-3 charging stations empower shorter charging cycles compared with the Level-2 solutions commonly used in existing airport locations, resolving rental car service bottlenecks and enhancing customer satisfaction. At the Company’s initial Hertz airport project, XCharge’s simultaneous charging technology significantly reduced the average charging time, improving charging speed by more than tenfold.      

Aatish Patel, President of XCharge, said, “We’re thrilled by the positive outcomes of our collaboration with Hertz. The results underscore our commitment to being more than just a hardware supplier – we want to resolve our partners’ most pressing concerns as efficiently as possible, whether that is site design, operational efficiency, or even EV charging education. By focusing on Hertz’s holistic needs, we have created turnkey solutions that quickly and effectively address pain points across their location portfolio. We look forward to expanding our cooperation with Hertz and bringing our high-quality charging services to more rental car customers nationwide.”

With charging anxiety remaining a top concern for EV drivers, especially first-timers, XCharge will continue to strategically elevate its presence in locations with substantial organic consumer traffic to introduce its convenient, high-speed charging services to a broader audience.
