Starting July 21, 2023 i rented a vehicle for an upcoming roadtrip. Was told all that was left was an all electric vehicle. If that was not okay they might have something Saturday. Might being the problematic word there. As well we wanted to be on the road before 9 AM. That was just the starts of the problems. The vehicle was not fully charged because an associate had taken the vehicle home overnight. 37% charge is unacceptable. Had to charge at my residence overnight with the adapter that came with the vehicle. Overnight only gave me charge to 57%. We had to stop to charge the vehicle way too many times. We also had a low tire turned flat by monday. Part of our trip was to Detroit. FYI Michigan is not a state for completely electric vehicles. The state does not have many chsrging locations. From where we were in Dearborn to the next charging station in Ann Arbor we would never have made it. So also, due to a flat tire we changed to an all gas vehicle at the airport. Z and Jenee went above and beyond to help us. Made sure the vehicle we had was full tank, low mileage, and clean as a whistle. The rest of the trip was smooth sailing. My recommendations; never take an EV unless you have specifically reserved it. Never accept it as being the only option. And unless you truly have no other option, really think about renting from Leominster, MA.
