You'd have a bit more clout if you said "fossil fuel builds your batteries"
Take another shot.
Electricity transports your fossil fuel.
I can live independently without reliance on anyone or corporation. Gas hits 50 a gallon or your utility company charges you 100x your current rate, you've got no choice. I flip a switch and keep driving.
My grid energy is nuclear. So, you're wrong there.
About 25% of all electricity is renewable.
Come up with a replaceable battery, then create battery swap; stations and have it be like cell service used to be you sign up with Chevron or 7-11 and you can take your car to any 7-11 swap the battery and pay for the difference between charge left in the old battery and charge level of the new one.
That way no need to charge at home they cane have fast chargers at the 7-11 that can cool the battery packs and charge them using solar or off peak times.
No need to worry about your battery pack no longer holding a charge and if you plan to travel a distance you can sign up for a "roaming plan" so you can get a battery swap done at a 7-11 or a QuikStop!
The people with a lot to lose from the demise of "Gas Stations" will have a new and better revenue stream.

They wouldn't even give me the $50 Visa card because "you have to test drive it for that". Sucks because it would have been perfect for me, we already have an EV charger at home and we only needed it as a second car to take the kid to school and back, a few miles a day.

How fragile the ICE-only guys are...
I have always been a car guy. I am not environment focused (I care, but enjoy my creature comforts) and EV's are great.
I rented a model Y for a week in Utah and had nowhere to plug in at my air bnb, so I had to rely on slow blink chargers and honestly, it wasn't that big of a deal.
Saying someone is an idiot for driving or wanting a EV is more about identity than reality.
A common theme that their smooth brains can't grasp is that most owners will not be waiting around to charge their vehicle. Maybe a few times a year on a road trip.
95% of the time, you'll just plug your car in like you do your cellphone at night and you come back to an 80% charged vehicle everyday.
You cut the gas station out of your life.
We need fast charging and solid state batteries and all of that advancement, but what we have now is already more practical for most drivers.
Don't believe me, turo one for a week. You'll be shocked how easy it is to adjust your thinking and habits.
Don't tie your identity to combustion, it will eventually blow up in for face...
I hated the idea of an electric car, I was a gas/diesel guy. Still am in part, but with modern electric vehicles its easy to see why they're a better fit for me and my company.
The service trucks I have, are all Ford Lightning's (5), that charge at a shop, fitted with about 22k watts of solar that's grid tied. Never had a truck run dead in a day, had any mechanical issues, or had software failures.
Spent around 40k on my solar setup, have around 200k miles (collective) on the trucks that's been nearly 100% solar charged. I didn't expect to buy 4 more trucks after the first, they're fantastic.
My previous fuel economy across the fleet of F150/F250 was 12.3MPG. 200k miles, 3 dollars a gallon of gas, was 16k gallons of fuel worth nearly 50k dollars. In 2 years I've paid for the solar and I'm saving that cost.
(My actual cost after tax incentivies was significantly less, however, it was out of pocket 40k at one point)
It's usually on a trip from the airport to your hotel room. Most people are traveling around 50 miles and don't have a reliable place to charge. They don't know the ins and outs of a foreign place.
They would really need to roll out the red carpet and help plan charging prior to the trip. We only hit the point where charges are "everywhere" in major cities in the past couple years.
There is no incentive for a renter to adopt an EV in an already stressful travel situation. They would have to make it so cheap it offset the added stress and help plan a charging route. This is way more than Hertz was willing to do.
For what it's worth, coverage for a 2024 model Y was comparable to my 2020 Explorer in Michigan. Nothing is cheap when it comes to vehicles. It's the second most expensive purchase of most people's life.
Finding chargers kind of sucked, but the car will find them for you. They'll even optimize the batteries by warming them up, so you have to buy more electricity than you might otherwise need. When I didn't know anything about charging EVs it was a steep learning curve. Unfortunately, you need to figure stuff out on your own before you really need to charge.
Non superchargers suck. They're too slow to be useful. And charging in general sucks. People have to build their lifestyle around them. And I don't want to sit next to some dude watching porn for half an hour while charging.
My biggest issue rental-wise was making sure there were superchargers close enough to the airport. In Atlanta I had to charge at the closest super charger on the way to drop off the car and barely made it in at 80%. Yikes! Rental companies should have a supercharger on the lot. Let people input their payment info and return the car while its charging. That would be very convenient.
I'd rather have gas for my personal use. But somebody else's personal use case might work with an electric car. What's important is that we have a healthy market of alternatives so people can make their best decision. Forcing EVs or taxing the poor so wealthy people can get EVs cheaper is just bad economics.
