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

As a US citizen I am painfully aware that I could dip down to mexico and buy a competent EV at 35~40k USD value in MXN. Alternatives in the states, even produced here, are upwards of 50k for the poverty model. Maybe the engine itself is cheaper, but the vehicles absolutely are not (unless you are being denied options by your government as part of an ongoing slap fight).

Wow, you can actually get normally priced cars outside of EU.
