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

    EVs generally have adapters that allow you to plug into a standard home outlet, it’s just significantly slower to charge to full due to the lower amperages. And even if you only have 1 plug in your garage, it’s not hard or expensive to add more.

    The only real hurdle for that is if you rent a house and aren’t allowed to make those easy changes

      Yeah this is losing the plot. I believe they’re talking about the tens of millions of Americans who don’t have private garages.
