I watched a utuber vid from this Aussie guy MGUY who has gone on a total
rant about EVs. He had one on about the Hertz EVs they were renting,
and they had to be returned with 90% charge and if not you would get
charged (see what I did there) for the charge to capacity, kinda like
the usurious gas refill costs. Turns out though that Hertz had the
charge levels capped at 90%, so even if a renter managed to find a
charge point close to the rental location (and wait a coupla hours to
charge it) it would only go to 90% so by the time you got back to the
drop-off it was below 90 and there was a surcharge on the bill. Nice.
Apparently EV batteries don't like to be charged to 100% constantly, or
charged to a high level frequently like if you are driving a distance
and want to recharge but then the car says no you have to wait awhile
before I will let me be charged up again. So you're basically f'd if
you are trying to make any distance in any sort of time comparable to a
IC vehicle.
