Try before you buy is a sound idea. Most of us don't have experience of an EV - either driving or the realities of ownership - range, performance, recharging etc.
Far better to rent for a month for (say) £750 than spend (say) £30k on something you quickly realise is not fit for your purpose.
It is odd that many will part with £10-40k for a car, never having visited a showroom, relying only on road tests. The same approach for an entirely novel technology is bizarre.
For EV manufacturers it may even be a marketing ploy - rent car at a basic price for a month, if it leads to a sale discount the car by the rental paid.
