If they can sell them for more than they purchased, why even drive them for a bit?

I think rental cars have a lower value/prestige compared to single-owner used cars (the idea being people are rougher and more careless with a rental they only use for a few days).

So much of the “never buy a rental” stigma is ICE-specific. EVs don’t rely on hundreds of hard-to-reach soft parts that can disable the vehicle if you drive them too hard.

But I’ll definitely be checking the battery and motors before buying a used EV.
