A plug in is cheaper than a gas tank of fuel, and a rental car company is insulated from that fact until they get handed a car on empty.

They get to charge for cars brought back not full, and either they're active enough that they have on-site refueling (delivered by a gas truck) or they're inactive enough that sending the new guy over to the gas station isn't a major issue.
