In general, yes.

As with all things, there are positives and negatives. If I leave my EV at home plugged into my home charger, and Uber to the airport, I will have a "full" vehicle when I get back. Long-term parking vs Uber is likely a wash, depending on duration of the trip. There is also almost no maintenance cost with an EV. The biggest downside to EV is recharge time during a trip. You have to plan your charging stops ahead, though that will be less of a problem as the network gets built-out more. I'm certain the early days of ICE experienced similar refueling problems on long trips.

Tesla has the largest network, and so the fewest issues in that regard. But it still takes about half an hour to charge.

Disclosure: we have an ID4, not a Tesla
