I'd add what I think is a grossly overlooked caveat: if you aren't going to drive more than 150 miles, there's no reason whatsoever NOT to take an EV.

Maybe the charging fee (which in my experience has never been charged, but YMMV) is a turn off, but I know I rent cars ALL THE TIME where all I do is drive myself around a relatively small local area, to and from work and meetings and what not. Probably 10 times a year I rent a car from SFO, bee-bop around the south bay for 3-4 days working, and take it back to SFO. There's virtually no way I've ever put more than ~150 miles on any of these cars.

Maybe I'm some substantial outlier here, but I think that these sorts of "sub 150 miles total" trips are super common. There may well be some selection bias here by flyertalkers who care a lot more about what they're driving than your average HertzJoe... and a ton of business travellers don't care about the $35 fee anyway... it just goes on the expense report as fuel and the company picks it up, which is a lot cheaper than the horrific overcharging for gasoline you used to get.

I'm more than happy to take a Polestar from Hertz for probably 3/4 of my rentals, and I never think about whether/how/where I need to charge it.
