The article says the cars are unreliable. I thought one of the selling points of electric cars was reliability over an ICE engine. Anyone knows what they are refering to?
- pitaj 3y agoMy understanding is that they're better not in reliability, but in lower maintenance (oil replacement etc).

Hertz notoriously did not have chargers in their lots and I've read plenty of stories of EV renters getting an EV with 20% of the battery. If they are letting the cars sit and discharge to 0, yeah, that will look like them being "unreliable" and will ultimately wear the battery.
