EV ownership in the UK has risen due to government initiatives and Low-Emission Zones that restrict higher-emission vehicles and growing public demand for sustainable travel. Range anxiety remains a key barrier, with drivers fearing running out of charge, uncertain charger locations, limited single-charge distance, and time required for recharging. Long trips amplify these worries because charger availability and suitability vary along routes. Hertz introduced the Hertz EV Route Planner to address those concerns by acting as an intelligent travel assistant that plans charging stops and reduces the planning burden, aiming to make long electric journeys smoother and more enjoyable. Charging networks have improved, but perceptions of inconvenience persist.
One of the reasons is that government initiatives support EVs and there are Low-Emission Zones (LEZs) in the UK where LPG cars are fined or sometimes outright banned from entering. Along with these government initiatives, public demand for sustainable travel is also rising. Yet, while the appeal of cleaner, quieter driving is strong, one challenge continues to hold back widespread EV adoption in the UK: range anxiety. For many drivers,
the idea of running out of charge mid‑journey, especially in an unfamiliar area, is enough to stick with petrol or diesel. This concern is particularly pronounced for longer journeys, road trips, or holidays where you can't easily predict where your next charging stop will be. That's exactly why Hertz has introduced the Hertz EV Route Planner. It is defining a smarter way of travel. An electric car route planner
