MG Motor signs Europcar EV rental deal

MG Motor Australia has signed a deal to supply the all-electric MG ZS SUV model to the Europcar rental fleet in Melbourne from this month.

More than 40 models of the MG ZS EV will join the Europcar fleet over the next four months, alongside the petrol-fuelled versions of the best-selling small SUV. 

MG Motor Australia and Europcar say the partnership provides a unique opportunity for rental car customers to try the electric revolution for themselves.

A typical day’s driving encompasses a distance of less than 120km, well inside the 263km range of the ZS EV. It can also be topped up overnight from a standard 10-amp plug or wallbox, or at the many charging outlets available throughout Melbourne and its suburbs.

Longer-term rentals of the ZS EV can also be facilitated through Europcar.

“This partnership will provide many people who are thinking of electric motoring the chance to try it for themselves, on their own terms,” MG Motor Australia chief executive officer Peter Ciao says, 

“And this is only the first step in the EV journey for MG and Europcar.”

“This partnership proves that the electric vehicle has come of age, and discerning businesses or individuals can take advantage of this for their mobility needs, whilst reducing their carbon footprint,” Europcar Mobility Group Australia and New Zealand managing director Benoit Garel says.
