@mikeni1225 22 күн бұрын

I have both a manual ICE car as well as a Tesla. EV is good for local driving IF you have a home charger. You never charge past 80%, the speed of charging is fast at 0% and slowest at 100%, so it is optimal to keep charging at low percents. You basically plugin your charger every night and charge to 80%. I spend 100 bucks in electricity costs per month with around 9000 miles per year. The car's flow is really streamlined. There is no key, you just walk in and drive. Also FSD is amazing, especially in traffic, you have to know when to use it. The car does not crash by itself, but may cause others to crash into you if you dont know where it chokes. The acceleration is faster than my 3000lb 300 HP turbo ICE car. One pedal driving is brilliant. There are just a lot of pros AS long as you have a home charger AND don't have a long drive commute. My ICE car, I spend $70+ for 230 miles. Driving manual, rev match, heel & toe is fun though.

Same for me. Most rental companies that own EVs use them as their lowest priced "economy" rentals. And finding chargers is such a pain if you are driving across states. The worst part is driving uphill or fast eats the battery so quickly. Another problem is that they do not give you a fully charged car. And when I had to deal with that, there were two non-electric cars parked in the charging station when I had 5 mile range left. If you have to, pay extra for the non EV car rental. It will save you time!

Scotty, i have just purchased a Toyota hilux here in the UK and i have to say that as a diesel pick up truck with a DPF system fitted, there is no fumes, smoke or particulates with the vehicle. This means that the argument from the Enviro Loons saying that diesels are death machines can no longer be justified. Toyota should tell the politicians to go and screw themselves and carry on manufacting petrol and diesel vehicles. If they want to get rid of polution in the cities, stop running old diesel buses and use LPG or gas powered buses instead.

I thought I would rent an EV just to "try it out" for a one-day business trip. First, they told me it was fully charged, and I had to return it fully charged. It wasn't. It was only 40% charged. I spent four hours looking for a place to charge in rural New Jersey with chargers that would not take all night. I ended up sitting in the Target parking lot until 11:30 p.m. alongside other people sitting in their cars, running the heaters, radios, lights, and car phones while they waited to charge. With a gas car, I could have spent that time relaxing in the hotel and getting to bed early. I was not able to charge the car completely, but I left it more than when I got it. When I returned the car, I told the girl that it was not fully charged, and she said, "That's OK; I'll say it was fully charged."

@Varrig 21 күн бұрын

I used to work for another rental car company, right beside Hertz. Every single day there was at least one accident inside their lot. We always commented to each other after hearing the near constant screeching and crash sounds, "Hertz don't it?". Also almost all the rental car companies would sell their cars off at 60,000km. But would only change the oil once at the 30k mark. Not to mention how poorly the customers treated them. Don't ever buy an ex-rental car if you want something reliable.

Around here, £1000 is considered a "luxury car". EVs would literally have to cost £400, and be actually better than their £400 petrol alternatives, for anyone to give a crap. And I'm pretty certain that will never happen.

I had to rent a car in florida this past weekend and I did the "manager special" and it was a Kia Niro EV. It was my 1st time driving an EV and besides KIAs questionable quality (I've only owned Toyotas) I completely enjoyed the EV experience. When it came to charging I used an app called FPL EVoluation that an Tesla owner told me to use to find a Quick charger. We charged it from 33% to 90% in about 50 minutes. Which was fine for us, we plugged and got some lunch. When we finished the car was ready to go. I think need to do a battery pack exchange. Go in, robot arms take out the old battery, exchange with a new 100% charged battery, less then 5 minutes you're on your way

EVs seem like good choices for the niche the Leaf/Tesla were built for. Suburban with a garage already wired for 220, or easily refitted to the high amp panel. It seems a bad fit (as built) for apartment complexes, downtown living, rental fleets, rural life, older houses with power panels barely rated for AC or that don't have dedicated garages. That is why the debcocle happened in the rust belt and Chicago last winter. Frozen cars ALL needing street charge on the coldest day of the year. They are perfect Yuppie chariots.

When you rent an EV, do you have to return it fully charged or you get a big fee like the gas one's?

Good question, I want to know the answer too. Imagine dropping the rental car late because you got stuck 6 hours charging the car battery 😂😂😂

@oldcynic6964 22 күн бұрын

You have to return it fully charged or get fined. Trouble is that unless there is a charging site next door to the car rental place, the car will not be fully charged when you drive it back !

Years ago after spending over $110 on rechargeable batteries, taking some back because they were 1.2 volt, go figure! My fully functional three brothers and I set around talking about Electric cars we called toy cars, anyway we talked about all the disadvantages of owning them. My three brothers are Mechanics and I'm the Building Contractor. We all laughed, just like you Scotty because we just couldn't come up with a good reason to buy one but had a dozen reasons not to. I think Elon Musk went about it all wrong, kinda like using a can opener to open a can the way it was designed but we've always used it on the top and not the folded over edge. Yup, we've been doing it all wrong and no one punished us for it but owning a Toy Battery car would be nothing but punishment. If I wanted punishment I'd adopt 8 or so kids, right?

Local dealers must be getting Hertz Teslas via auctions because they show up on the car fax as a previous rental but the local dealers are charging much less than Hertz itself. Had Hertz offered it for the price they sold it at auction or even the local dealer markup (yet still cheaper than Hertz website) the would have sold them all. Just bad business decision by Hertz.
