I rented an EV a while back, and it was great. The main annoyance was that the EV charging station near our airbnb (a few hours drive from the airport) was a trickle charger that didn’t allow overnight parking, but then I figured out I could charge in the garage with the supplied 120/240V cable (costing the host a few dollars, tops).
The rental company (avis) charged market rate to recharge it when I returned. They also let me select EV ahead of time, and I confirmed it would work before selecting it. FWIW, I’d rented a tesla “or similar” and ended up with a bolt, so there weren’t any issues with charge dongles, etc.
The savings in gas meant the rental upgrade more than paid for itself.
