A novel finding of our work, enabled by our high resolution simulation, is that electrification may increase deadheading for TNCs [transportation network companies] due to additional travel to and from charging stations. This extra vehicle travel increases estimated congestion, crash risk, and noise externalities by 2–3% (2–3¢ per trip).
