@jameslatimer4091 You clearly dont know anything about EV batteries. EV batteries have an 8 year warranty but is expected to last to 15+. Replacing an EV battery does not cost $25k unless you have a really really expensive EV with a really large battery. The average cost for a replacement is $137 per kWh of the battery. The average EV with a 300 mile range has a 75 kWh battery, so that is roughly $10,250 in replacement cost.

Renting an EV is impractical especially for their rental car customer base. Hertz's strategy to go heavy into EVs was just plain stupid. People rent cars to drive for vacation and people who have busy business schedules. You rent a car and you have to figure out how and where to charge it and charging time takes forever. No one is going to rent cars and spend have the time looking and charging the cars. Whoever in Hertz thought this was a great idea must have not been in rental operations.
Not only did they buy EVs they also invested in installing charging stations at their maintenance lots.

I think common sense will tell you that EV’s work best for short trips in the city when you can charge at night at home to have a full charge every morning. When you rent a car it means you are NOT at home and need to use public infrastructure which becomes a problem.

Instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on ev charging stations how about the electrical grid I lost power on Friday and just got it back Saturday night we energies of Wisconsin had over 60 thousand without power.
I just bought a used EV after much research. It’s great to drive, but variability in mileage is maddening. The car will literally tell me that it’s good for 260 miles, I’ll make an eight mile round trip, and then get home with 230 miles left. The software update that was supposed to be installed overnight on the WiFi network had to instead be applied at the dealership for…reasons…
EVs are too expensive to rent. That's why.

I don't see many rental Humvee's on the road either or rental car lots 🤔
People charge their cars with non green energy lmfao.
Bit of a no brainer. EVs are 'use specific' and they fall in a narrow scope like a daily commute, or grocery getter. Rental cars have to be 'all things to everyone' it has to be ready to drive 1,000 mils overnight for a meeting somewhere, which is doable in an EV but is not something a car renter wants to deal with and certainly not pay a premium for. Nice effort HERTZ, just a bit ahead of time.
