Yes but filling up gasoline is trivial where as charging an electric car is an infuriating task that has you sitting around waiting potentially 30 minutes for the car to be charged so you can get on with your trip. No patience for that shit after a long flight.
- thehappypm 3y ago30 minutes is likely a best case scenario as well
- CitrusFruits 3y agoYeah me and my wife rented an electric car once, and we'll never do it again. Recharging it before returning basically adds another hour to the return process (between the detour and the charge).
- grobgambit 3y agoCouldn't agree more with all this. I would love to rent a Tesla exactly as mentioned but waiting 30 minutes at the start or the end is just unacceptable to me. I would need to be given a pretty good discount on the rental to even consider it.
- Fatnino 3y agoI typically rent a car to go between LA and the bay area. All modern gas cars can make that trip on one tank. An EV can not. At this point someone usually pipes up with "well you were going to be stopping for an hour somewhere anyway". No I was not. I stopped for less than 5 minutes at a rest stop to pee. And I stopped at a gas station to buy a quarter tank because that's all the room I had. Price seemed right and the milage estimate said I wasn't going to make it without. Turns out I filled up only 3/4 of a tank in San Jose before drop off so that stop wasn't needed after all.
