Cost of Driving an EV

“Deadhead miles” are the miles of driving done to find a charging station.

Does that actually happen? The people I know with EV's simply use them around town, to commute to work, etc., charge them at home, and have another family vehicle for longer trips. They don't even use a commercial charging station. It seems like a made up cost to exaggerate the author's conclusion.

Their time cost argument is a joke too. If you charge your EV at night (which most people probably do), it should actually save you refueling time. Instead, they show a 7-fold increase in time costs. That alone should have anyone questioning their 'findings.'
