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

The point is that, for most journeys, you just charge at home overnight. It’s rare to plug in and wait for it to charge. With petrol / gas, you always have to wait

*If you have a homecharger

It is faster to refuel your car with petrol.

A 120v standard Ac adapter is all you need for overnight charging, and I’m pretty sure those come with the cars.

I don’t know what to do with you people… We both have 5km range left. You plug in the cable juice and I plug in the gas to refuel. Who leaves the station first?

“when you are empty, and you have to drive right away, its faster to refuel your car with petrol”

My relatives dont have a charger at home, they just plug their car into an outlet, and get ~40km range over night. That more than enough for the daily commute.
