In my experience the rental co’s come up so short. One tried to give me a BMW i4 EV with only 30% charge. I asked would you send out a gas car with 1/3 tank? No? Then why isn’t this charged… “the charger is far away” I opened the trunk and showed them the 110v charger and pointed out an outlet.

I’ve not had that yet. Hertz in UK at Heathrow have banks of them. Toronto too. This is my first time renting electric in the US. It was fully charged thankfully. Having not driven a gas car for 5 years I wasn’t planning on starting again this week!

That great! I’ve only had an EV for a little less than 3 years but every gas car feels like an antique rickety death trap belching carcinogenic greenhouse fumes in comparison now 🤣. I even upgraded to a Mercedes on a trip and it just felt like utter garbage compared to an EV.
