Renting a car for 2 days

[hasentreelake]

Our cruise to Bermuda in May 24 will include 3 days / 2 nights docked at Royal Navy Dockyard.

We plan to do a reef snorkel (ship excursion) upon arrival.
After returning to the ship, the plan is to rent an e-car late afternoon and go to Hamilton for Harbour Nights (it is a Wednesday).
Will parking be obvious? and plentiful?  
We plan to have dinner in Hamilton and return to the ship.

Where to park overnight?  At the car rental location?  or somewhere else?  Is there charging if I park other than the car rental lot?

Next day we plan to drive to Tobacco Bay, Blue Hole, Swizzle Inn or Art Mels or Rosas.
Elbow Beach, Long Beach, Horseshoe Bay, and Church Bay are also on the optional spots to hit before returning to the ship or go to  on the final day.  
We will take our snorkel gear - which of these ^^ places is best for snorkeling?  or somewhere else?

 

Thanks to any responses!

I strongly advise against driving in the evening in Bermuda with one of the mini EV's. (they are not cars) The road from Hamilton to the Dockyard in the dark, don't do that. Take the ferry to Harbour Nights and back. As far as charging stations whichever rental company will tell you their actions. The different mini EV use different charging stations. They all have some place in the Dockyard to charge overnight. 

 

For snorkeling Church Bay and Tobacco Bay.

Agree with Charles-- they drive on the left, roads are narrow and slippery, and these EV rentals are governed at slower speeds. Locals in busses, mopeds, and cars will just run roughshod over you on the road. Nighttime driving in them is hazardous as they are not well marked and they are significantly smaller than cars and even golf carts. It's just not a great program. To be clear-- there is no way as a visitor to rent a traditional car on the island. 

 

We use a combination of the ferries and taxis when we're on the island. The ferry from Dockyard to Hamilton is absolutely the way to go for Harbour Nights. For Tobacco Bay and things on the East Side of the island just take the ferry from Dockyard to St Georges and then work your way back via taxi. Once you get to Hamilton you can take the ferry back from there.

Thank you both for your advice!
