Who would want to RENT an electric vehicle? Sounds like a great way to wreck a vacation!

Friend of a local right wing talk guy here told him when he got to the rental car place they had ONLY EV cars there. Gas cars were 100% rented and gone. That trend will probably take off now.

His trip would require a re-charge while he was at a conference before a trip back to town here.

Was thinking the same. I understand that with an EV that you charge at home and drive locally, you might be able to get into a routine that minimizes the inconvenience of recharging. But the last thing I’d want while on vacation is a bunch of recharging hassles. I’m sorry. Hertz is stupid. I get that some people think Teslas are “cool,” but I can fill the tank of any gasoline-powered vehicle in 5 minutes at any of countless gas stations everywhere. Why would I sacrifice that convenience?

Businessmen staying in the city and not wanting to hunt for a gas station on the way to the airport to return a rental car. Be sure that Hertz did the homework on this. Vacationers can choose from the other 80%.

“Who would want to RENT an electric vehicle? Sounds like a great way to wreck a vacation!”

exactly ... who wants to spend all of their time worrying about finding the next charging station and then being stuck there for hours getting a “fillup” ...

and exactly the same thing goes for business rentals, only likely more so ... what business person making a trip to strange city wants to add to the stress of that with the stress of trying to keep an battery car charged ...

I might, just to experience what they're like.
