I've had plenty of "not refueled" disputes with car rental companies over the years, but since these transactions were always done via a credit card, these have never caused me any actual issues, other than having to forward my initial denial email (with a fuel gauge picture on return -- protip: always make one, and one of each side of the vehicle as well, to ward off damage claims!) to the card issuer. Other than "yeah, Hertz has really lost the plot" and (with a nod to lobste.rs) "Hacker News is not customer support for your car rental company", there doesn't seem that much to discuss here? (And for the record: Sixt [a major-ish car rental company] in .eu requires EVs to be returned with at least 80% charge these days, and will have an add-on fee otherwise [so: take a picture of the dashboard upon return!]. Not, like US$277, but a fee nonetheless)
