No I’m saying that “I will have a place to charge overnight every night” is unfeasible.
Whether that’s good enough depends on what you’re doing and your car’s range.
edit: I remember renting a Tesla once in San Francisco and when we got home with very low charge after a fun trip (on which we had to visit a random small town for an hour just to top up a little), we couldn’t find a place to charge. Everything the Tesla map showed was a locked garage with no public access. After a frustrating hour of searching and the car increasingly panicking at us about permanent damage, we resorted to going back to the only place we knew for sure it could charge – back where we rented it from.
We then ubered home for $20 and back to the Tesla next morning for another $20 (we rented for 3 days).
It was easily one of the frustratingest cars I ever rented.
