It's really interesting that you stated earlier on this site the "ONLY" thing you could believe is "percentages." I think that's stupid, because if the numbers are wrong, the percentages will be off, but you can live in your own little world. I do think that for comparisons, percentages are the best way to go.
Because of the "money saved" (which was actually a bait and switch by pedojoe), most dealerships purchased at least some to have on stock. Epic Fail.
It's written there. The 19% couldn't sell them. They got rid of them by other means. The 66% of the car dealerships shipped them to loser places like miami, LA, etc. CO refuses to follow CA standards because EVs don't have the capability to do what they need to do six months out of the year. And they're a die/hard sheeple state.
Hertz CEO out following electric car ‘horror show’
Trouble and turmoil continue at rental car company Hertz.
The company, which announced in January it was selling 20,000 of the electric vehicles in its fleet, or about a third of the EVs it owned, is now replacing the CEO who helped build up that fleet, giving it the company’s fifth boss in just four years.
The company announced that Stephen Scherr, who came to the company two years ago after nearly 30 years at Goldman Sachs, is stepping down at the end of this month. He’ll be replaced by Gil West, former chief operating officer of Delta Air Lines and General Motors’ Cruise unit.
Trouble and turmoil continue at rental car company Hertz.
Lee County-based Hertz, while not totally exiting from renting electric vehicles, plans to sell off a large portion of its electronic vehicle fleet and use proceeds to buy gas-powered cars.
Bottom line
Key takeaway: Estero-based Hertz is selling off one-third of its electronic vehicle fleet and will use some of the proceeds to buy gas-powered vehicles.
Core challenge: The company says EVs make up a large number of lower margin rentals and have higher damage expenses.
What’s next: Hertz will still have EVs in its fleets and intends to work with manufacturers to make parts and labor on the units more affordable.

OD, have you considered that EVs might not be the best vehicles for a rental car company? People renting cars might have never driven an EV and don't want to spend an hour of their vacation time learning how and where to charge them up. But EVs are still here to stay - why you care? I have no idea. But we are gradually shifting to a majority of electric vehicles on the road. Probably won't happen in your lifetime because you're old and all that vitriol you have for EVs has to be eating away at your innards - but your grandkids? Yeah - they'll be cruising in an electric vehicle. And if Trump tells you people get electrocuted driving EVs in the rain? You believe it and tell all your friends - especially your mechanic and the guys down at your local car dealership.

Yes. and by the complete crap we are being fed by the limousine liberals and the self righteous thumpers such as yourself, there are issues. Why do you think I posted a rebuttal? my point is that you'll NEVER quit attacking. even in a list of facts. So any fight now, is just a showing of your refusal to understand the issue. If people don't want them for their lender vehicles? Why the fuck would they like them (right now) for their own vehicles?
