Hertz doesn't have to pay for gasoline; the customer does. So they loose the main economic advantage of electric cars.

- z2 2y agoIf I recall, Hertz requires 80% which is still terrible, considering the low range of some of their vehicles and that DC fast charging above 80% gets much slower against all that voltage pressure. So you can double your total charging time to get to 100% (accelerating battery wear in the process) or charge to 85% and hope that the 10 miles to the airport won't take more 5%.
- brewdad 2y agoLast I looked they allowed 70% charge. Still, your point stands and I won’t rent an EV anytime soon unless I was treating as an extended test drive where my schedule didn’t matter.
