Some employee has to take those cars to jiffy lube (or whatever oil change place is contracted with that Hertz location to provide fluid changes) to the tune of $20/hr. I can see that dominating costs.

And on top of that the average EV probably has low(er) rolling resistance tires (to get a few more miles of range) which get replaced every 40k instead of whatever sticky tires the OEM slapped that only last 30k so you're doing that routine less too.
