At least for now rental cars just don’t work as EV’s economically the idea of a rental car is a cheap shitty car that I can trash without too much concern. The car goes to shit in a year or two and gets pawned off for nothing. This is fine because the car was the cheapest possible option for its price point anyways. Also using gas is much more convenient than EV charging although it is more expensive but this is offset by the car being cheap An EV is cheap over the long run through cumulative savings but the purchase price is higher and they have to pass this off to consumers. The car still goes to shit in the same time but this is worse for the environment because the expensive part of the car hasn’t really degraded in value. Overall the model just doesn’t make sense. EV’s are perfect as a daily driver for those with commutes that allow them to charge at home and gas cars are great for occasions where an EV doesn’t work. Most rental car scenarios don’t make sense for an EV IMO
