Yes. Rental companies have those type of agreements - you get a key fob
or something like that and can reserve a car online and minutes later
go pick it up.
Also, there's flex car and car-2-go.

I think one could argue that if you take a 100 mile trip once every 6
weeks, an EV for everything else might work. Renting once every 6
weeks
would be reasonable, perhaps.
However, aside from the Tesla, 100 mile trips aren't possible. More
like 55 to 75 depending on vehicle and conditions. So, renting would
be
more frequent than 6 weeks and, as Ben says, probably past being a
reasonable choice.
Of course there are other factors.
- Do you own two cars?
- Can you charge at your destination (e.g. work)?
- Is it easy to rent or borrow a car?
- Can you charge at home?
Can you rent on the spur of the moment without wasting hours of time?
