I rented an F-150 lightning in Hawaii (Oahu). What I found was that the slow charging made it difficult. I had access to 6 Kw and 50 Kw chargers, but the 50 Kw would take 2-3 hours to go from 38% to 87%. Not easy when you have 2 kids and wife critiquing your decision to rent an EV.

What I decided was, if I can't charge at the hotel or house I am staying at, or use a Tesla fast charger; renting EVs isn't worth it.

What can we do, when travelling to make EVs effective?

I was at 25% and dropping while looking for a functioning charging station. Too many of them out of order!

My fantasy is to go home every evening, plug in my truck, and go to sleep knowing that I don't have to waste 30 minutes a week going to a gas station to fill my truck.

Battery size! Doh! I totally didn't even take that into account! Makes sense in hindsight.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, she makes me bring them.
