A Model 3 with the extended range has 340 miles of range. That's not a realistic number, but let's be generous. A 2% difference in charge comes out to about seven miles—and that's being maximally generous to Hertz in this case. There's no burden here. Seven miles is probably about the round trip necessary to drive the car to a charge station. Hell, I've turned in plenty of ICE cars with more than 2% less fuel than when I got it and incurred no fee. The fee is more than two orders of magnitude greater than the cost of the electricity. And because it's so close to the maximum battery capacity, you're talking about an hour of charging or more—the closer to full a Tesla gets, the longer it takes to fill up (by design! It's not supposed to be filled that high, as the article points out!).
