What to know before renting an electric vehicle
Renting an electric vehicle (EV) for a summer road trip can be cheaper than gas cars, but savings depend on factors like charger availability, battery range, and charging times. Consumers should consider hybrid vehicles for remote trips and be cautious of upfront rental deals with limited flexibility. Rental return rules, such as recharging fees and data deletion, also require attention.
