Hertz rental car company abandoning electric vehicle plans, selling 20k EVs

When these abominations can be charged from 1% to 100% in the time it takes to fill a 30 gallon gasoline tank, and when they can be repaired for the same rates as internal combustion engine automobiles can, and when the damn things don't have a tendency to SPONTANEOUSLY BURST INTO FLAMES- then we can talk.

Until then, plug it in and shove it up your ass.

Let the market decide. I'm tired of the government shoving these rolling lithium-ion battery fires down our throats.

Just returned from 4 days in San Antonio. I reserved the unknown Manager's Special for lowest price and whatever they gave me. Didn't care. But once at the counter it was a Chevy Volt. Hell no. Cost me $25/day to "upgrade" to a regular car. In hindsight, I should have just cancelled and walked away and got on my phone to make another reservation and chose a specific car.

Nah, it's fine

There have been several of these bus fires recently, but it's fine.
