Renting an electric vehicle from Sixt in France

Does anyone have any experience with this? On an upcoming trip, my cheapest automatic transmission option is an electric vehicle from Sixt. I've never driven an electric vehicle, and am an American, but I figure the learning curve is short. I'm most concerned by how I would refuel, and how Sixt handles these transactions. Do I go out "full" and return "full," or is that not necessary? And is it a relatively straightforward deal to find charging stations around France that I'd be able to use?

Sixt's US website doesn't seem to have any details. Does anyone know how their electric vehicle program works? Intuitively, I would be happy to trade the inconvenience of charging for what I assume is buying cheaper electricity vs. expensive petrol. Does it actually work out that way?
