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’ll keep my ICE and ride a bike. I’ll still do less environmental damage than you because I am human powered for all but the trips to the mountains, and then I don’t have to worry about being stranded without a plug.
And I have yet to hear a convincing argument that taking my perfectly working vehicle off the road to buy another manufactured product is still more environmentally friendly than… not buying anything at all.
I don’t give a fuck about initial torque. I’m going to be laughing in my wheetabix when there’s not a single EV older than a decade on their original batteries.
Downvotes don’t make me wrong, chuds.

Boy… if all those 2010 Leafs are still on the road, why can’t I find any used for sale??
It’s almost like they didn’t do any investigative work and just regurgitated a Nissan spokesperson. It’s fucking Forbes after all.
So two strikes to you. Wanna try again?
