Electric vehicle sales are booming, and an effort is underway to blanket the country with new charging stations.
I’ve been renting electric cars ever since Hertz started offering Teslas as an option a couple of years ago.
Whenever I needed to power up, I found one of Tesla’s fast charging stations and was back on the road with a nearly full battery in less than an hour.
But when I arrived in Minneapolis for a reporting trip this summer, the Tesla I had reserved wasn’t available.
rentals, this would be a bit of a road trip, the kind of long drive through sparsely populated farmland that is a hallmark of American car culture.

I’ve, Hertz, Tesla
