In 2019, there were more than 1.3 million rental car transactions at Logan and 2022 is trending to near 1 million transactions. Today, passengers at Logan can rent more than 200 EVs from the Rental Car Center, or choose an EV option from Uber or Lyft. MassCEC is proud to support this innovative program.” “The growing deployment of EVs at Logan Airport and accompanying infrastructure will both help to educate consumers and begin to reduce emissions in surrounding communities. “Offering EVs through rentals and rideshares will catalyze the adoption of EVs and help us achieve our clean transportation and emissions reduction goals,” said MassCEC CEO Jen Daloisio. The Department of Energy Resources has contributed to program funding. ACT4All awarded $5M to ten projects operating statewide. ACT4All aims to equitably increase access to clean transportation across the Commonwealth, reduce emissions in overburdened areas, and build effective community partnerships. This grant comes from MassCEC’s Accelerating Clean Transportation for All (ACT4All) Program.

Several rental car company-owned EVs were available for demonstration including Tesla, Kona and Polestar models. Participating organizations included representatives from the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, the rental car companies at Logan including Avis, Enterprise and Hertz, as well as Uber and Lyft. Getting more passengers in an electric vehicle is an important step as Massport moves toward becoming Net Zero by 2031. The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) and Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), as well as local elected officials, celebrated MassCEC’s recent grant to Massport in support of planning and facilitating the transition to more electric vehicles (EVs) at Logan Airport.
