I'm starting to think EV vs ICE rental decisions will become just another 'virtue signal', along the lines of when some rental car agencies would offer Prius cars as a special class.
In Europe, there is a 'green' choice - at rental agency, via Uber etc.
i rented a Model 3 through Turo in June. As a Volt owner who has always idealized Tesla I was not as blown away as i thought I would be. I was in the northeast so chargers were not hard to find. Still, the features I did like about the Tesla can pretty much be found on most modern cars.
As both a Volt and Tesla driver, I concur that the Volt has a lot of the key features of a Tesla except far-shorter range and no software updates.
The Tesla is also quicker. Not that the Volt is a slouch, but the Tesla (even the low-end Model 3) has some real oomph.
What makes Tesla best-in-class right now is the entire package.
