The power generation and the usage is not homogeneous by source, use, and geography.
But you knew that, right?

Hertz, the car rental agency, said Monday that it had placed an order for 100,000 Teslas, a sign of growing momentum in the shift to electric vehicles.
By the end of next year, when the Tesla order is completed, electric vehicles will make up more than 20% of Hertz’s global vehicle fleet, the company said.
Hertz said it was teaming with NFL quarterback Tom Brady to promote its EV offerings in a marketing campaign.
“Electric vehicles are now mainstream, and we’ve only just begun to see rising global demand and interest,” Mark Fields, Hertz’s interim chief executive, said in a news release. “The new Hertz is going to lead the way as a mobility company, starting with the largest EV rental fleet in North America and a commitment to grow our EV fleet and provide the best rental and recharging experience for leisure and business customers around the world.”

How many miles of travel per kilowatt-hour?
Thinking upstream, energy capacity generation as more and more fossil fuels are eliminated in favor of those godforsaken wind turbines.
New power plants are being built in the US. Fossil fuel especially natural gas is going to be around for a long time.
😂
177 gas powered plants are being built in the US.
Love your propaganda.

(I know better than to be scared of Gore-bull warming; but the Karens and suckers buying and insisting on both Teslas and windmills *don't*.)
They better build some water falls.that generate Electric!!
Moose farts?
Solar power wind power plants...they can't store power...and are not generating power much of their lifetimes. They cannot store it.....
Hydro is going down...Solar and wind cannot sustain us !!
Where's this energy coming from????
$4,000,000,000/100,000 cars
=
$4,000,000 / 100 cars
=
$40,000 / car per year.
=
(($40,000 / car ) / year) * 1 year/365 days
= $109.58/day for each and every Tesla each and every day of the year.
What is the average utilization of a rental car?
The regular socket for a reading lamp can be used to charge and EV. The is called Level 1 charging. It is a very slow way to charge sometimes taking up to 20 hours for a full charge.
The big socket like for the clothes dryer is called level 2 charging. It is much faster than Level 1 taking 4 to 6 hours for a full charge. Usually used to charge over night.
Then is the Level 3 DC fast chargers. They can give a full charge to Tesla in as little as a half hour. There are thousands of Tesla Supercharger stations in the USA...but they only work on Teslas.

East Texas has dozens of Tesla Superchargers. West Texas only had one.
“I would have no idea how/where to recharge it to avoid getting stuck.”
As my Daddy used to say, “You will never learn any younger, Son.”
If they were smart, they would have supercharging stations at the rental lots and charge the customer the going rate Tesla does and factor in labor costs with the rental price. If Tesla puts in charging stations outside of airports, then the person returning the car has to duke it out with the locals needing a charge.
I’d never get one out of fear I’d have to 1) stop and waste time recharging or 2) not be able to find a recharging station.
Stress: Your trip is over and you are driving your EV rental to the airport to catch your flight which departs in 30 minutes and the low power light is flashing red......
Not to mention I’m sure they’ll want you to return it charged like they do with gas
I don't know, lifted my estimates of profits to Hertz from online analysts who crunched the numbers. I'm middle-of-the-road regards the war between pro-EV and pro-ICE warriors. This arguing reminds of spats between fans of sports teams, or between PC and Apple fans, etc.; it's not all black and white but shades of gray.
I have rented cars and know the rental companies make killer profits from renting them. I have relatives who think nothing of plunking down a couple hundred a day and more to rent a luxury car. Hertz can buy these Tesla cars, and sell them after two years for more than what they cost (because of supply not meeting demand). This announcement shouldn't have affected the Tesla stock price purely from a sales standpoint, as Tesla has high demand that outstrips their ability to produce the cars - the 100,000 cars would be sold even if Hertz did not order them. It's purely psychological, that reinforces the notion that Tesla is growing.
Although I own an EV, I don't think EV's will capture more than 25 percent of total vehicle sales even after 15 years. I do own Tesla stock as part of my portfolio, and it has earned ten times my initial investment and has yet to peak, with growth similar to Apple, Amazon and others that I invested in.
In other words, you are now rich have no use for the rest of the country who is not taken in by the supposed status of these overhyped piles of ecological disaster.
Typical.
