EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Vehicle rental can help accelerate decarbonisation but faces
considerable cost and operational constraints
Shared mobility services, such as vehicle rental, are a key to accelerating usage and uptake of zero-emission vehicles and
sustainably decarbonising road transport
Vehicle rental has unique, customer usage-driven characteristics that present significant operational obstacles to EV
transition, but certain customer segments (representing ~10% of Enterprise rentals) could be less challenging to electrify
There are considerable cost and operational constraints to electrifying vehicle rental fleets
With the right mix of incentives, policy and funding, shared mobility service providers can help government accelerate EV
uptake in a sustainable way
The cost of acquiring and operating EVs
can be up to 40-60% higher than for
ICEVs, and vehicle availability is
expected to be constrained for the
foreseeable future
Vehicles are turned around rapidly between
rentals in order to meet customer demand
with an efficiently sized fleet, meaning that
recharging vehicles between rentals is
challenging
Shared mobility can effectively convert 'trips'
to decarbonized transit, especially where
shared mobility service use is incentivised –
shared mobility vehicle users use active and
public transport more in lieu of private vehicles
Shared fleets familiarise the general public
with EVs and can help overcome consumer
confidence obstacles to adoption, if the user
experience is positive
An Enterprise vehicle is re-rented
within 1 hour for 25% of
rentals on average
Acquiring and operating EVs can be
40-60% more
expensive than ICEVs
Pay-as-you-go shared mobility ensures that
only essential trips are taken in passenger and
goods vehicles, thus reducing overall mileage
There are significant barriers to EV use among
vehicle users: around half of consumers cite
range anxiety and lack of accessible and
appropriate public charging infrastructure in
the right places as key concerns
However, parts of public sector and corporate
fleets, and car clubs [sharing], for example,
have characteristics that make them less
challenging to electrify if governments promote
user demand and support vehicle rental
Vehicle rental users typically do not have
access to the most prevalent EV charging
model (home and office charging)

can help government accelerate EV uptake
in a sustainable way
TODAY 2030+
Establish public infrastructure Drive EV transition through shared mobility 'shop window' Normalise decarbonised transport
Ensure accessible
EVCI in places that
meet user needs
Mitigate cost
burden for
shared mobility
Stimulate demand for use of
clean vehicles in shared
mobility models
Safeguard against service disruptions & market distortions
> Guarantee open vehicle supply to shared mobility by OEMs
> Promote cheaper electricity and guarantee service levels
> Prevent limitations to competition by OEMs & utility providers
POSITIVE FEEDBACK LOOP
Incentivise shared mobility EV
adoption and mitigate costs
> EV usage by consumers and
businesses commonplace
> Shared mobility a sustainable, cost-
effective part of future mobility as
EV costs normalise
Ensure accessible EVCI in
places that meet user needs
> Appropriate EV charging widely
available in the right places
> Public EVCI accessible to all
> Grid resilience high

In summary, measures should…
> Encourage users/consumers to transition to EVs in a sustainable way, overcoming the blockers that
currently limit uptake
– Directly in the short term, by incentivising and supporting shared mobility users and providers
– Indirectly in the longer term, by helping shared mobility providers to give EV users as positive an
experience as possible
> Be an holistic combination of initiatives
– Measures must be joined up and point in the same direction
– Providing incentives or financial support which is then nullified, for example, with a tax malus, may
hinder progress toward policy goals
> Be more "carrot" than "stick", especially given the current headwinds facing industry
> Be well aligned with broader aspirations and timelines for emissions targets in road transport
> Precede, or supplant, burdensome mandatory transition requirements – ensuring appropriate market
conditions and infrastructure are in place will enable positive experiences and avoid negative outcomes for
consumers and businesses (and ultimately the policy goal of accelerating private EV adoption)
Editor's Notes
RB intro whole session
Many thanks for making the time to meet with us today. Much appreciated.
RB policy context and purpose
This is a critical moment for electrification!
EGD
AFID
Emissions package
SSMS – hit right notes – on shared mobility services + decarbonisation + urban but also cross-border mobility
EPDB
ERRF!
Why did we Commission the RB work – precisely because this is a watershed moment for electrification and to take a really forensic look at how electrification impacts every imaginable area dn function of the EH business – Iain will explain the methodology further in a moment
Roadmap for electrification for EH in Europe and US = globally
RB personal intro
26 years Brussels – started in EC…EP…private sector at KPMG, APCO, JCI, Google….back to APCO…5 yrs working for Enterprise Holdings…coming up to 18 months inside EHI as Head of European GPA – EU level and Corporate Markets
Full EV driver – Polestar 2
Very quick word on EHI – largest mobility company in the world – built from humble family company foundation to largest rental company in the world…building….
In EU27 – 4 EU Corporate Markets + franchisees
iMac personal intro
iMac - methodology - fine toothcomb narrative
RB lead through [+ iMac]
Start point - shared decarbonisation goals + want to make transition…looking at how to overcome the obstacles
Need to do so in partnership with Gov by which we mean EC, Member States
C-19 – ESMO status…appreciation of role VR plays in moving key services people and goods around
Recurrent theme today – the greater part of Rental is not the leisure journey from an airport or railway station (especially not at the moment (!!) but generally speaking).
Currently providing mobile vaccine support, but in course of pandemic has been medical services staff
Medical goods deliveries
Last mile deliveries
Iain will expand in a moment…
Vehicle rental companies, especially those at the leading edge of shared mobility service development like Enterprise, are well-positioned to partner with government to showcase and accelerate the uptake of clean vehicles in a manner that simultaneously meets consumer needs and is sustainable for the shared mobility sector
Transition role of VR - Rental vehicles are typically the latest model vehicles on the road, emitting fewer GHGs than the average vehicle
Convert trips to decarbonised transit – some data to share on the relative proportions of Shared mobility services vs private vehicle usage
Needs incentivisation for CV use – we’ll set out some ideas for this
Needs a mix of sticks and carrots
We see very little “everyday” consumer demand for EVs
Welcome focus – accelerated by C-19 – on Active Travel
But very few trips are 1 mode
Very few trips – especially rural to suburban to urban or suburban to urban are made without car
Democratisation of mobility and especially of clean mobility
To ensure availability, accessibility, affordability
Multi-modality
Welcome EC focus on MaaS in context of ITS revision, UMP etc.
Clean inter-city and cross-border travel….
On-demand/PAYG lends itself to “right vehicle for right use for right duration at the right cost”
Show-case/shop window” – EVs are expensive and equalisation with ICE unlikely to come for 3-4 years in best estimates….
Rental is a great way to try without the up-front investment
Experience = good = greater likelihood of uptake
Bad experience….
We’ll dive into the key consumer confidence/use issues and how to overcome
We think we can be a good resource to Governments on overcoming uptake issues
