I may be the exception, but I think you are misusing the statistic. To
say 85% of the people go 35 miles a day says nothing about how often
they go, say, 150+ miles in a day.
We need a statistic something like: 70% of people exceed 150 miles a day
5 times a year. This is a completely different statistic. Then you can
start to ask the question of whether they would be comfortable renting
something those 5 times.

You are the exception not the rule. The data I have seen says 85% of the people
go 35 miles a day. I never claimed everyone only needs 100 miles a day. I was
also speaking of personal experience driving an EV.

Paul,
300+ mile range isn't fictional. Or, maybe at least 250 miles.
Sure, if you rarely go more than, say, 100 miles in a day you can rent
something for the exceptions.
Using myself as an example, I need a vehicle that can go 200 miles RT for
excursions to the mountains. I go 20-25 times a year which justifies owning a
vehicle rather than renting. Plus, with a 15 hour day, I don't want the
overhead of another hour or two to rent something. Plus, rental companies
generally don't allow driving off paved roads, except for short driveways.
I think there are many people who have stories, and in all sorts of manners. I
also agree, there are plenty of people who think they need it but don't.
