Just FYI Hertz just took in the shorts to the tune of 500 million with all the EV's they bought and no one wanted to rent. They are selling them off at a huge discount.
I think the bigger issue with the rental company is the fact that maintenance costs are way too high. Plus one little fender bender and they have to replace the battery; you can't service the batteries, they replace them $$$. The whole EV thing is a $hit show/sucker punch.
