An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

      What does EV and ICE have to do with comparing electric motors to gas motors?

        Either they are priced higher or they aren’t. They are priced higher and as such I won’t be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

            Reddit moment. You’re right, but you let this guy frustrate you into responding to the same nonsense multiple times in a row, and some people thought you were being mean.

            Gas engines are cheaper

            Yeah, I understand perfectly that you’re hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It’s just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?
