Yes! This^^^ Rented a “Manager’s surprise vehicle” but if I ever see that “Manager”, Grrr! It was a little Polestar and probably fine in its own backyard but Not in a rental car company where it travels miles on miles then needs an unoccupied, working generic car charger before returning to the airport car rental. I Hated it! There was a Very sweet couple next to me to help me figure out how to charge this car. NOT Intuitive at all! And took about 3 hours in the 100 plus degree weather because I sat there with the A/C on because every 15 or so minutes you have to restart the charging process all over again from hanging up the charger on its hook to swiping your card all over again…first world problems…we’re blessed regardless! (Another thread could be “Is irregardless a word?? Isn’t that a double negative?”)
