I rent EVs in Europe all the time, both for long and short trips, and it's never been a problem. (I don't own a car, so it's the only kind of driving I do these days.) You charge the rental overnight or find a fast charger somewhere if you can't find a spot. It's annoying when there's a line, but it's not an actual problem. Reliability has also not been a problem.
