18% of Hungarians live in Budapest, and 73% of Hungarians are in some urban area.

The land itself isn't driving anywhere.

This is kinda the opposite problem of those who reject immigration "because {insert country name here} is full" — unless you're living in a city-sate it isn't even remotely full, it's just that most of the people have chosen live close to other people, which both makes it feel crowded and means that goods and services which kinda need high density environments are actually fine.

>> and 73% of Hungarians are in some urban area

And what is the definition of some urban area in Hungary? Do you really believe a small towns with 1000-10000 inhabitants have electric car rentals available?

First, why are you reaching for what is by definition the smallest group?

Second, I just looked up Hungarian towns by population, in that range, first one I found was Ráckeve, it has three car rentals.

I can't tell what engine types the two which aren't "fancy old-timer VIP cars" rent out (and not only because even Chrome refuses to offer to translate for me), and you might not count the location anyway because it's on a short distance train line to the capital.

Making a prediction from the number of vehicles in their publicity shots and the penetration of electric car sales, I'd guess even odds there's at least one electric vehicle, in that location, at the moment, that gets rented out.

Looking at the google maps aerial photos of some of the places with population of 1k, I wouldn't count such small places as urban. I'm not sure what definition Wolfram Alpha used when I asked it for the number.

If you haven't noticed, Hungary only has one really big city(Budapest, around 1.5m people), the second biggest has around 200k people and from there on there are mostly towns under 100k population size. What they call a town starts at 1000 people (the smallest number I have used).

Why are trying so hard to make believe something exists when it does not?

Please believe that average Hungarian(or European) is not living couple of minutes away from an electric car rent company. What user 'yosito' wrote is a figment of imagination. If you don't believe me, there are many Europeans here who are telling you he is wrong.

Can't reply to yositos reply, so replying here instead. Exactly Specifically, "Anytime I need a car in Europe, I just use an app and walk a couple minutes to the nearest electric car." - I doubt that's the case for the car majority of Hungarians.

I know it's not the case for the majority of Swedes. I live in Gothenburg, the car mecka of Sweden/Northern Europe. We have electric car rental if you live in the city center (along with the other 10% or so of the inhabitants). I actually live quite close to the Volvo factories. Nope - definitely no 2 min walk to pick up any electric car rental.

Hungary is pretty small. You can drive pretty much anywhere in the country from Budapest on a single charge. And there are charging stations all over the country as well. I've personally driven all over the country in an electric car with no issues... well, except a few times when I ended up off-roading in a tiny Volkswagen by mistake and almost getting stuck in the mud.
