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 EV motors are cheaper but we need to include the battery. An empty gas tank does not cost much. An uncharged car battery is pretty expensive.

          The motor yes. But an electric car does not move with a motor only.

          By just calculating the motor we are making up cost comparisons that do not reflect the actual cost of the car.

            Are you having trouble understanding the English language? The OP clearly stated the following:

            Gas engines are cheaper

            Which is patently false.
