> The heinous cost of owning huge kWh battery for occasional use is silly
I thought like this in the beginning, and there's a fallacy in there.
Think not about huge kwh battery, think of (range of a battery in miles) * (battery cycles)
That gives you the projected car mileage.
First generation evs from other manufacturers with ~20kwh batteries will have to replace their battery in just a few years. They might cycle their battery once a day while a tesla might be once a week or more. Many many leafs got new batteries after their range decreased significantly 50% within 5 years.
If you meant "they should rent high range bigger battery stack cars" I agree. The heinous cost of owning huge kWh battery for occasional use is silly. But fits MAKE ice cars so a cheap coverage for range is rental of an ice for the agency doing this model.
