An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.
That’s like saying a sword is a better weapon than a gun because the sword can bei used for cutting, hitting und thrusting and also as a tool while the gun can only hit and shoot while needing additional components to function that quickly run out while being more complex to build. You cant just ignore the context to make your argument. He’s clearly talking about cars here.
I mean, could easily be talking about lawn mowers, which also have gas and electric and arguable more priority for torque generation.
Well for the lawn mowers, I think it doesn’t matter that much what specs you choose. You don’t need to be comfortable using it if you don’t mow the lawn every day, but it’s still better if you choose a better, longer lasting product.
