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

“I can’t charge at home” should be an easy way to shut down an EV evangelist. That should be a “get out of conversation free” card.
I say that as an EV evangelist myself, and I lived a few years in a condo with an EV and no EV charging in the garage (and adding charging was going to be cost prohibitive if even possible at all due to already crowded infrastructure). It sucked and ain’t nobody got time for that.
Even being unable to charge at home has solutions.
Like when they upgraded the street lights in London to LED, while also incorporating a charger.
Yeah, but that is only in London and only 1300 street lights. Once they’ve done 10+ million of those in the whole of the UK this might get interesting. And it will still be much more expensive to habe an EV for people who cannot charge at home.
Sadly they haven’t even started with that here in Germany. And tbh, I am quite annoyed by this. They keep blowing money into the assess of suburbanites, but completly ignore urban people. Thus subsidizing infrastructure wasting sprawling even more.
