I love renting EVs now, when they’re available.

They’re always the cheapest option and they’re often nicer than the cheapest gas ICE options. I’d rather be in a Genesis G80 Electrified than a Camry.

I just got a $100 charger for my relatives garage, which almost immediately paid for itself.

(Though I’ll admit, I’m lucky that they installed a 220v outlet decades ago for appliances in their garage).

That's good to hear! We had some visitors, and we went on a trip to the mountains, and the nearest Level 2+ charger was some 70 miles away. It was a bit stressful for them, as they had never used an EV before, and the Electrify America chargers at the time tended to be either broken or in use. It was a major pain and stress point.

This will all get easier as the chargers become more prevalent.
