EV&#x27;s only make sense in home markets - the market in which you primarily live. Going on a long trip and renting a vehicle? Why would you rent an EV? You&#x27;re adding 15% to 20% time to your trip for the added charging. Makes no sense.<p>You flew somewhere and now need a car. Are you going to rent an EV? No! You don&#x27;t know where the chargers are locally and chargers are nowhere as ubiquitous as gas stations.<p>Not sure why <i>anyone</i> thought this was a good idea.<p>What <i>is</i> a good idea is there&#x27;s now a company in my home town that&#x27;s advertising rent an EV for a week and you can see if it&#x27;s right for you. That makes a lot of sense. Before you lay out $40K to $50K on a new EV and then discover it was a mistake, spend a few hundred and see what life is like with an EV.

EVs cost more in almost every way... I had to pay $900 for 3 weeks of super charger ... And since it was a rental the cost was a surprise at the end.

It makes sense... EV&#x27;s pay for themselves over the long run, much longer than rental cars stick around for. They typically lease them for up to three years and then flip them for newer vehicles. EV&#x27;s have lower TCO, but only if you keep it for a decade. With a higher sticker price and insurance, it makes sense the rental sector is having cold feet.<p>Anecdotally, the exception was Japan, where my wife and I rented a pristine ten year old Aqua direct from Toyota, but that sort of vertical integration seems to be rare here.

Yes, they got screwed because 1) Tesla dropped prices repeatedly on new cars, and 2) the payback that makes TCO on an EV lower for private owners is not captured by a rental company.<p>#1 may or may not have been something they saw coming, but how they missed #2 is a mystery.
