Such a service would work really well for people who don't own cars. You'd probably have other problems if you had an EV in a metro area with good mass transit. Once you own a car, the economics of an EV don't work out very well. You can spend a little more in fuel costs and avoid needing to rent a car.

Like many EV ideas, it looks like this is waiting for advances in battery technology.

I don't expect that you have any interest in "controlling" anybody! Being "interested" in what people do doesn't mean you want to "control" them.
