    I’d double my gas usage during the week

    More likely power bill I’d think - I haven’t heard of anyone working on an autonomous gas powered car or even hybrid. Also a few states won’t even be allowing sales of gas cars in 11 years

        True.

        I just thought of a potential partial solution:
        There could be companies that rent spaces in parking lots (with charging) specifically for automated cars, located just outside cities and commercial/industrial areas. Might even be useful to people in apartments or otherwise without a place to charge at home.

        These would be closer to where the car needs to go later than all the way back home, and ideally on lower traffic routes.
