Downlight Electrical
Renting an electric vehicle used to feel like a novelty, but these days it’s increasingly normal—though still not quite standard issue. EVs now make up roughly five to ten percent of many large rental fleets globally, with higher concentrations in parts of Europe (especially Scandinavia), China, California, and selected airport hubs. Some operators have pushed harder: Hertz once reached around 10 percent EV penetration before trimming back parts of its fleet. But in the bigger picture, EV rental supply across the world still remains uneven.
And what are you likely to get? That depends on where you rent. In North America, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y remain common top options, joined by Chevrolet Bolt, Polestar 2, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Volkswagen ID.4. In Europe, expect more Volkswagen ID models, Renaults, Peugeots, Hyundais, Kias, Teslas, and increasingly the Chinese-made BYD. In Asia and the Middle East, BYD has become a major presence, with Nissan Leaf, MG, Hyundai, and Tesla also common depending on the market.
