The same thing could be said about ICE rentals, yet that also isn't accounted for in the cost. It's not unique to EV.

- prmoustache 2y agoIt takes 2 minutes to fill a tank and it doesn't cost more to the user than the rental company. In the EV case it takes a significant amount of time to charge the vehicle (nobody wants to do that before taking a flight) and it is more expensive for the user in a public charging station than it would for a rental company that invested for its own chargers within their parking spots. Also the time used to charge the EV can be mutualized with the time it is eventually checked and cleaned. Very rarely is a car returned and rented within minutes. I guess in an ideal setup you would get a car with at least 60% of charge and when you return it the rental company expect the same. This leave you time to plan your trips and charge so you don't have to look for a crappy place to do a last charge with nothing else to do just before returning it.
