At Hertz rent a car, you choose your own. We got in an SUV, it turned out to be a half-charged EV. We quickly jumped out and got in a gas-powered car. We certainly do not want to be looking around for a charging station in a city we are not familiar with and hanging around for God knows how long charging up an EV.
Exactly!
Car rentals are shining example why NOT to use EV!
You need a car ready for use, and you have no time for looking for charger and charging.
My first check and demand when renting a car: NO EV!
Car rentals, especially in Europe, are trying to push EV on you, sometimes they are very tricky in that endeavor!
