Does anyone have experience renting an EV in the area and where I can charge withtou paying big bucks for parking. The reviews on the charger in the paid garage near the cruise pier are bad - lots of reports of getting tickets for $90 for using the charger even while in the car.
Is it through Hertz? Is that your only trip to make? Hertz will allow a return
without a full battery. I don't know which other conventional car rental agency allows a Tesla rental except Hertz which is why I assumed. If your only trips are airport -> hotel/hotel-> downtown, then I think you'd be fine on a single charge.
Does your hotel offer conventional, trickle charging instead from a standard wall outlet?
I'm sure you know that especially in major cities, overnight parking onsite comes at a premium, even for non-EVs. Where are you currently planning to park your car overnight even if you didn't need to charge it?
