Tom,
I wonder if the compared prices included insurance?
Some of Debbi’s clients have U-turned from EV’s as insurance premiums have in some instances quadrupled!
As far as I can see all come with the same insurance package. My hunch is that the companies are starting to buy in electric fleets, but are finding it more of a struggle to hire them out at this stage. The main thing that put me off buying electric was uncertainty about how easy and hassle-free it would be to find charging when away from home, so I guess hiring one in another country seems like even more of a step into the unknown.
I haven't committed yet, and am still toying with the idea of hiring electric only if I know the car's range (and of course you are never guaranteed a specific model), and how good charging access is at my destinations or along the routes. That's a fair bit of extra research to be done on its own.
