Avis. My TV has been flooded with TB12 charging himself at Hertz, but nope, its a Tesla 3 "or similar" from Avis. It's only 98CAD so I figured worth a try just to see what the car is like - I've never driven an EV. Upgrading that to a Y is only 30 more. Parking at my hotel is only $30 CAD, but unlike about a dozen area hotels with "destination" chargers, mine doesnt have one and who knows if I can find a regular outlet to charge. Hotel front desk isnt sure. We're undecided about driving around, but have a half day on arrival and the morning before the cruise to explore, and I havent even been to Stanley Park when visiting before, so figure I'll drive around at least bit. I recognize the pain of EV rental cars - the fill up on return is a pain as it takes a while compared to a gas car. Seems Avis charges $30 or $35 for returning it between 10-70% charged, so that may be the easiest thing to do. Some chargers say "see valet" at the hotels, but do they really serve non guests? Hmmmm..
