Am I on the hook for this? Should I be checking every EV for a cable before I leave the gate? What about the SD card for navigation? These are things that tend to “go missing.” I don’t see how it would be my fault.
I've rented the Hyundai Kona EV 5 times and I've never seen a charging cable in the trunk. Once I did look under the panel in the trunk and saw a bag there with a charging cable inside.

The Nero EV is just the Kia version of the Hyundai Kona, so the charging cable is probably under that panel in the trunk.
