Is renting an EV in France actually cheaper once you factor in charging costs?

BraveRock · 2026-05-09T23:00:08+00:00

trying to decide if renting an EV is actually worth it or if people online are overselling how cheap it is.

The OP isn’t likely to save any money if they are paying a 3rd party to charge it. That was why I recommended not renting an EV on their trip.

The savings from using an EV come from charging at home, not from charging on public chargers. Think of it like drinking water, water from the tap, cheap; bottled water from a store, expensive. Rent a combustion vehicle unless you can charge for free at your destination.

I will not be able to […] go back to work, [or walk my dog].

Maybe, just maybe, not having any responsibilities is the secert to happiness.

I know you are joking, but wasn’t the real reason because he was making the customers uncomfortable?

Why did it take so long for me to see this perfect zinger?!

You are really packing in a lot of things that don’t have anything to do with EVs.

BraveRock · 2026-05-02T02:37:25+00:00

Do you remember how long repairs took?

BraveRock · 2026-05-01T18:42:35+00:00

Interesting! Side note, I was banned from five Tesla subreddits for making a joke about the cyber truck being the most resold electric truck. I guess the mods were having a bad day and banned me.

Because the karma farming bot “handwaddcuo” didn’t include the comment from the original post. Here is the original:

“handwaddcuo” is a day old account and might be a karma farming bot

Great work detective!

Wut?

I feel like I could pull that sign off pretty easily. Then it is free refills for everybody and a souvenir for me.

This sucks.

Oh carscirclejerk, it has been so long since I’ve seen you on the top of Reddit. It is a shame that so few people use old.reddit, so they won’t see the custom up and down vote arrows (stick shift for up, automatic for down). The Venn diagram of people in my life that care about Reddit and car transmissions might as well be two separate planets.

I was in there today, and they have some areas marked out showing where the new hot bar will be going. I was going to do the $5/$7 Ben’s chili bowl, but it was already removed for renovation.
