Car-rental operator Hertz reported it lost another $200 million due to its EV gamble.
Three years ago, investing in a fleet of 100,000 is what helped the car rental company emerge from bankruptcy.
Higher repair costs also weighed on the company's overall fleet maintenance expenses. Excluding items, Hertz reported a loss of $1.28 per share, well above Wall Street's expectations of a loss of 44 cents per share. Both Hertz and Avis have lost about half of their market value this year.
