Regular readers will know that we are zealots when it comes to using trains rather than cars. Why is that? No Driving Stress: You don’t have to worry about navigating, traffic jams, road rage, finding parking, or dealing with unexpected road closures. Someone else is doing the driving! Time for Yourself: Instead of focusing on the road, you can read a book, watch a movie, work, nap, gaze out the window, chat with companions, or simply relax. This makes the journey itself part of your leisure or productive time. The list goes on and on.
However, there is a global push en route to make cars more of a sensible choice. China, in particular is leading the charge (no pun intended) when it comes to electrifying our transport. Not only will that save the planet, but it will also put more people behind the driving seat to give them huge opportunities for travel, transport and mobility. This is automobile usage that we can all get behind. Watch the video above and witness the future.
You can have your cake and eat it, too. Several major car rental companies offer electric vehicle (EV) rentals, including Hertz, Enterprise, and Avis. Hertz has a particularly large EV fleet, including models from Tesla and Polestar, and offers an EV road trip planner to help with charging. Other companies like Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Thrifty, and Alamo also have some EV options. Turo, a peer-to-peer rental platform, also offers a wide variety of EVs, but availability and pickup logistics can vary.
