As others said, it depends on if you have home charging or not.
If you can charge at home, EVs are great for commuting, it does require some additional planning for long trips, but it's getting much better.
Also cost to charge at home is 1/3rd or less than cost for gas. Cost to supercharge is often very similar to the cost for gas, sometime even more than gas.
Rentals are generally for people away from home, so EVs for the rental market mostly doesn't make sense right now.
Driving a rental EV right now as main EV is in the body shop. coincidentally. But I'm not away from home.
