Budget Rent A Car review: EV Car rental Pompano Beach Florida

I rented an EV Hyundai vehicle from budget rent a car from 10-11-2023 to 10-15-2023. The girl at the counted was very accommodating and said they only had EV cars and no gas models available. She had a new one with 500 miles on it. I figured I would try it. I had time for .15 hour super charging as I was driving about 700 miles. The problem I ran into as there were no super charging stations on route 95. You go off the exit and seek one out. Maybe 10 miles to find a super charger. The navigation system would send me to 12 hour slow charges and then I would have to go to my phone and see if I can make it with 20 miles left on vehicle. The Hyundai would only give like 200 miles per charge. It was running out of gas with no gas stations around. I made it to 40 miles of Brunswick Georgia by about 3pm. I looked at the map of budget rental places i saw one in Brunswick Georgia 40 miles south with 60 miles left on vehicle. I looked at the electrify america app and there was no charging stations north. South I drove 40 miles north to budget at the airport. They wouldn't switch the car out cause they don't do EV.I had 20 miles left on my charge. Employee knew of a super charger behind walmart. I went and charged saw enough to make it half way back home. I came back. Took me 3.5 hours to obtain last charge; got home at 1am. 24 hours of driving and charging and only got half way.

Don't do this to your clients. Not your fault but you should know the reality of EV. Those staions on interstate should be mandated to have EV Charging. Worst experince I've had in long time but I don't blame budget.
