Yeah, electric cars definitely don't make sense for car hire. The main advantage of electric car ownership is cheaper fuel costs long term if you charge at home overnight. That obviously isn't going to happen for a hire car, and even if it did the fuel cost of a hire car is insignificant compared to the cost of the hire itself.
On top of that, charging is still way less convenient than refueling an ICE car, and when you hire a car it's usually in a situation where you can't afford inconvenience.
I think electric cars are the future and hopefully I'll never buy an ICE car again, but car hire has got to be the last domain to transition surely?
