But it still takes time, more so than a petrol car - and when you rent a car, that's exactly what you are paying for.

It's fine if that time is while you are asleep, or at your destination - but the last thing I wanted to do when returning the car before a flight would be to wait for ~30 mins for the thing to charge up, no matter where the app would direct me to.

Logically you'd have a supercharger at the car rental depot to try and relieve this problem, but alas, the last time I was renting a car, and was considering an electric one from Hertz, this was not an option.

One fun thing about returning the car less than fully charged is that the cost of recharge is just labor. I think they billed me $15-25 for it when I left a car without fully charging it.
