I flew all the way from Florida to New York for a wedding this weekend. I took a train an hour and a half from the city to this car rental location. To find out that they only had one EV left even though I requested a gas vehicle and paid extra for it. I was told that the EV should have a full battery which when I looked up should be about 300 miles and the wedding was 80 miles away so 160 miles round-trip. When I got in the EV there was only 14% battery in about 50 miles worth of charge left on the vehicle. I spent over an hour trying to get the vehicle charged which cost me $15. Even though I was told it should be cheaper than gas by a little bit by the employee. And two hours charging the vehicle. I left my hotel at 12 o’clock and didn’t get to the wedding which was only an hour and a half away until 615 or around there. The wedding started at 5:15 PM and I was late by over an hour even though I factored in to get there two hours ahead of time.I am very upset and I miss the vowels and was the last person to attend the wedding and it ruined there special day for me and the bride and groom.
