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 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?
Charged at home and never needed to stop. Ten mins down the road already. Go shout at clouds old man.
So your electric car has more range than a similarly sized gas car? Unlikely.
Given both vehicles start at “full”, drive until you have low range left. Now talk about convenience of filling up in the middle of nowhere, or when in a hurry.
Is this use case common for everyone? Definitely not, but I run into it a few times a month.
So you admit you are talking about edge cases. This is why no-one cares what you think. You are arguing for slower, less efficient, more polluting vehicles just cos it’ll save a few minutes on a long run. Get outta here. Jokes.
