Hyundai launched Evolve+ in February, a program that lets the "EV curious" try driving an electric car for a flat monthly rate.
Brad Sowers, president at Jim Butler Auto Group in Fenton, Missouri, offers DriveBLACKTIE, a way to help customers try an EV without a major commitment.
But automakers and dealers are desperate to speed up EV adoption, as they spend trillions of dollars to develop and launch new electric cars.
EV adoption in the US has been slower than elsewhere across the globe due to a lack of public charging infrastructure, inventory availability, cost, and more.
Allowing drivers to take home EVs and try them out could help increase education and familiarity with electric cars, with relatively little effort on the part of automakers and dealers.
