I thought they were supposed to be safer and less expensive to repair.
Where does the Hertz statement mention safety as a factor? I haven't looked for the statistics but I suspect they will show EVs are safer.

Who said it was less expensive to repair collision damage for EVs? Drivetrain maintenance costs are less for EVs. Electronics costs are higher for EVs. Collision damage costs are likely to be astronomical for EVs. Where did you see anything different?
