When I rented from Hertz late last year I asked about how people felt about the EVs.
The agent said people used to EVs loved them, and almost everyone else wouldn’t touch them with a 10’ pole.
Between the cars dropping significantly in value (all EVs have), the lack of maintenance savings if no one is driving them, the cost to repair body panels when hit, and most people not wanting to touch them I can’t blame Hertz.
Just too early for the mass market in most places and the wrong brand choice due to repair costs (though choice was very limited at the time).
