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 agree public transport is the better option, but electric cars are a good option for the vast majority of people as long as we're going to need cars.

I agree but if you can't park near an outlet and you have no charging stations in your town it's pretty impractical to own one. Everywhere I've lived so far that's the case for a lot of individuals. There's also issues with long trips, reduced range in cold weather, and towing being pretty much pointless in an EV.
