Hertz has decided to sell off 20,000 vehicles within its electric fleet - prompting an explanation for the move.
The auto rental giant explains that part of their reasoning for the decision is drivers crashing the cars at a higher rate - increasing financial burdens since they're more expensive to repair.
However, this dangerous trend isn't limited to the vehicle rental market, as data shows that motorists switching from gas to electric models have similar problems.
On average, insurance claim rates rise 14.3 percent after drivers transition to an electric vehicle (EV) - while the severity of those damage claims is 14.5 percent higher, CNN reports.
