Car rental is the last use case for EVs. Most renters are unfamiliar with the region, have limited time, and rent to put on miles at a faster rate than owners.
It will take ubiquitous megawatt charging infrastructure and 1,000 volt architecture for this to change. We are likely ten years away in North America. China will get there first, but it isn't a large car rental market.
