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

Why on earth do you get down votes? This is the truth. Downvoters just straw man argue pointing out that 'just charge your car at home', which isn't the matter of discussion. There isn't even a discussion to be had - it is faster to refuel a car than recharge. Might this matter to you? Maybe, maybe not.

If the car is recharged at home, you may never need to stop to add gas. Electric is the future bro, get over your hangups.

Charging the car at home is for middle class people and above, generally speaking. Not everyone gets to park their car next to an outlet.

You're just using any scenario to claim the win. You're generally speaking for the least likely group to have electric cars atm.

You can plug into the standard 120V outlet at home. You don't require the high amp charging and the installment costs associated

... Again, not everyone parks their car next to sn outlet. Actually, I feel like probably most people don't
