If they had slowly disappeared, that’s one thing, but having them all disappear as available at once makes me think there is something changing.
Hertz only keeps vehicles for a set period; could be they've rolled back on purchasing EV's for 2023-24. I have a Polestar on the books for end of this month. I'll have to check and see if it's been changed.

I was looking to the future to some Jan/Feb/Mar Colorado winter rentals and definitely the number of EV's has been decreased.
