> Im bullish on EVs but I feel like rental cars are one of the worst places for the current generation of EVs.
I don't agree. It really depends on what usage you're aiming for.
For instance, if you rent a car right out of an airport so that you can drive to the hotel and then to an meeting somewhere in the city and afterwards perhaps somewhere else and then back to the hotel, you're renting a car so that you are completely free to travel across town to get where you need to be. These are relatively short drives zig-zagging across town which can include a few hours of parking between rides.
It sounds like an EV is the ideal vehicle for this use pattern.
If instead you need to go on long rides that take hours and you can't afford wasting hours charging then EVs are not as well suited as ICE-powered cars.
