I'm interested in hiring a few different types of current EV model for 2-4 weeks a piece, has anyone got any recommendations of companies to try please? Ideally somewhere that's got some of the newer long-range EVs (e.g. Kia/Hyundai and I-Pace) available too.

https://evexperiencecentre.co.uk/ over in Milton Keynes? They don't have everything you might want, but it'd be a start.

EV Experience Centre was my first thought too, although they do a week at a time - should be plenty to see how it'll work for you.

https://www.evrent.co.uk/ have Zoe, i3, i-Pace and Teslas

https://white.car/ for Tesla

None I've seen have the new Hyundai or Kias, including most dealers. I believe the Chorley Hyundai dealer has a demo Kona now.

Kia dealers were recently saying that demonstrators are expected in April.

+1 for the EV centre. Plus you'll get your £75 refunded if you buy an EV.

The only caveat is that you're limited to 300 miles but can pay additional mileage charges if you go over.

Great centre imo and some decent people too, who aren't selling anything.

before i went EV I rented from Hertz in Heathrow who had a few which were available for a very good rate. I have just looked and it seems they may not have them now from their website - maybe worth a call as it was something like £50 for a day unlimited IIRC.

Or check other such rental companies as well.
