Hertz's thinking that led them to invest in a fleet of EVs leaves me scratching my head in puzzlement. Very few cars are rented in order to potter around locally. Almost by definition, you rent a car in order to travel a distance. So the customer will very quickly be faced with issues of range and the charging infrastructure, when he/she may not be familiar with how to manage those. And if journeys are stretched out over more days than expected because of poorly-planned recharge stops, he/she will be penalized for late return. So I'd hazard a guess that repeat customers were probably specifying "no EVs please".
