This Is Why EV Rental Is Surprisingly Expensive
24 Jan 2023 | Abstracted from Jalopnik
"...report from USA Today says that not only do electric vehicles cost more to rent than gas vehicles up front, in many cases there are hidden fees that have caught travelers by surprise.
"...require EVs to be returned with more than 70 percent state of charge or users will face a $35 fee. If it's less than 10 percent, then the penalty is $70...Budget is not alone...Avis - Budget's owner - has an identical policy."
