In what many will see as a rather bizarre marketing ploy, BMW and Fiat are offering free car rental days to selected EV customers. The Fiat offer sees those purchasing a Fiat 500e gaining access to 12 days of car rental from Enterprise Rental per year as a means of offsetting concerns about journey capacity.
Is this is nothing but a marketing ploy or is it a sensible move to catch the attention of consumers?
That’s clever because EV owners are mostly concerned about their EV range. So if you want to go on a trip on the weekend, you can then rent a combustion engine car for free from BMW. Impressive!
