I made a similar comment not noticing I was in the electric cars instance a few weeks ago and got down voted to hell, but it’s absolutely not practical for a rental. I wrote up a whole point by point thing on why, but essentially it boiled down to rental cars typically being used on your vacation time, and most people don’t want to go out of their way to find a place to charge an EV while using their limited vacation time. If renting for a road trip, no one wants to add hours of drive time to the trip for charge time either. They need a better, faster charging solution.

I think it VERY much depends on the city and it’s charging infrastructure.
It’s definitely not something a rental agency should be giving out in an area with poor infrastructure.
