I don't think the wasted energy cost would ever be lower than parking costs. They'll need a depot of some sort for maintenance and charging/fueling anyway that they could return to when there's less demand. That's assuming the cars aren't privately owned, but in that case your car could just drive further away (or even all the way home) to park.
