The Hertz Corp. is expanding its electric vehicle push by buying an additional 65,000 cars, this time from Swedish manufacturer Polestar.

The vehicles, the Polestar 2 model, will be purchased over the next five years and will first hit the Lee County rental car company’s fleet this spring in Europe and then in the U.S. and Australia later this year.

A spokesperson for Hertz says additional terms of the deal won't be disclosed.
