EVs work when you are home where you are guaranteed to have a parking spot with a charger so it charges overnight without any hassle.

People rent cars when they are away from home. Nobody wants to have to worry about finding a working charging station in an unfamiliar city and have to spend hours there waiting for it to trickle charge because the fast charging is unavailable or broken.

Not to mention the majority of people, at least in the US, have never charged an electric.

It would take a 4th grader 30 seconds to figure it out. Let's not pretend this is rocket science.

well it's not that they can't figure it out. If it's renting they want the most comfort possible. A good portion of comfort is familiarity.
