I am not fumbling around tired and frustrated in the dark seeking a fast charger or any charger at all so I can get up at 4am to check charge status and return with ~80pc of charge to avoid ripoff. I refused the EV. I asked for a sub but the agent refused said I had to rebook. Well OK. Did it on the spot in front of her luckily rate had not changed since I made that first res and made her give me the regular Corolla so much better more reliable dependable etc. than the ElectricFetish. I hate hate EV rental. It impedes my business materially. I say...

JUST.
SAY.
NO.
Sure, you should just say no. Or just don’t rent from Hertz.
