Hiring an electric car is currently a niche option. Even if you wanted to, you’d need to find a rental company with EVs in stock, hope they had one in the category you wanted and fingers crossed it wasn’t too expensive.
Avis in the UK for example has a single model - the Jaguar I-Pace on fleet - and it’s only available in its upmarket Prestige fleet. Sixt’s only EV is a Volvo XC40 Recharge, among 42 other cars.

Even with fleet discounts, I imagine that insurance rates for hire or fractional ownership EVs are significantlly higher than for ICE equivalents. This might partially offset some of the gains made wiht lower servicing costs for EVs.
Acquiring a used hire ICE car can be a minefield. However, down the line, I imagine that buying used EVs that started out as hire cars will also be a minefield. The obvious issue will be how an EV's battery was recharged. Somebdy who does not own an EV might be less careful about when and how a battery pack is recharged. This is going to become a bigger and bigger issue for used EVs generally becasue of the implications for battery life both in and out of warranty.
But WHY is hiring an EV a niche option? When I need to hire a van, I want an electric one, not some rattling antique diesel that spews fumes and forces me to go to a fossil fuel filling station. Diesel vans are so 20th Century.
