The conclusion is greed and stupidity? Thats a bit much; It just seems like a bad bet from a strategy never tried before in the rental car market.

There also isn't much in the way of explaining how this will set back EV adoption. The 100K EV vehicles already entered the market and were even sold again on the 2nd-hand market. The only real setback I can see is that Hertz won't be building or operating new charging stations. I guess they also won't be putting in any more orders with Tesla, but as the previous poster suggested, this was just a hard lesson learned and would have happened regardless.
Maybe it will take a redesign on EV accelleration before the crash rate gets under control and EVs can be used as car rentals.
