    people would rent cars to go do Uber Eats deliveries and such

    Uber Eats incentivizes driving recklessly. The faster you can complete a delivery, the more deliveries you can make in a night. Also you’ll be out during bad ice storms and other weather that reasonable people wouldn’t drive in unless necessary. Renting an EV might make the math add up better for doing deliveries, but were it economical to have a fleet of ICE cars doing gig deliveries I suspect they’d have similar issues with damage, although the acceleration and top speed of their EVs might be making the problem worse.
