It is interesting that a bunch of finacial careeerists decided to jump on EVs without thinking - "Hey, we are going to need chargers as convenient as gas stations, or else people wont use them!".

In an alternative world, Hertz could have become _the_ EV rental company if they turned every rental office they have in the US to a fast charging center, and told customers "Look, just drive this thing and dont worry about returning it at a certain charge level". Such an action could have actually had a positive impact.

Instead they focussed on "technology that will automatically open the doors for the users, adjust their seats, adds their favorite playlist"... I mean... Darwinism and all.
