Is it possible to hire an EV or a PHEV or even a standard Hybrid from any of the reputable car hire people?

I'm not sure it is. Your best bet maybe to email the car hire companies first. Be careful
some companies are just scam artists Goldcar and Orlando being the worst. I would use anyone of the following; Pluscar, Cicar, Payless and Top car (Autoriesen)

Thanks for that but I’m not new to Fuerteventura and only deal with Payless Es or cicar. Plus car are also ok. There is a lot of sharp practice in that business.
I was just enquiring about the availability of EVs before my next visit.

I've not come across rental EV's.
I think a lack of public charging points could be an issue for car hire companies. This report from March of last year: Over the next few months, the current number of electric car charging stations of six will increase to eleven, and to be spread across the island. Currently, there are only about 30 electric cars driving on the roads of Fuerteventura, but expect soon to see more with this Government discounted price.

I was over a couple of weeks ago and I seen a charging point beside the new bus office outside Caleta complete with car connected up. I think it was a Hyundai Ioniq EV.
A self charging hybrid then would make sense as they are very economical on fuel but probably a bit expensive for the hire companies.

The last electric car I saw in Fuerteventura was on the end of a towrope. Looked like being towed back to PR.
I did see a 'Gas Licuida' car today. It had a Cicar sticker on the back.
