Electric vs Gas

Alt text:

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 why you want me to explain you and your situation. I really don’t see why it would be the same as everyone elses. I’m pulling from stories, other people’s experiences, studies, real world cases, the research I did when I was interested, what mechanics are saying, and so on.

    Maybe it’s different where you live but I come from the Midwest and many of the places I’ve been, what family members, neighbors, and friends think think are the same story. I really was hoping for actual substance in this conversation but seeing as it’s becoming cyclical I’m going to move onto more important things and I hope you do too.

    I did have one case where someone enjoyed their Tesla, he was a retired firefighter that barely drove and he liked the way it rode. He didn’t know much about it though when I talked to him.

      There’s a ton of pretty baseless, biased, and flat out wrong anti-EV stuff out there. Don’t trust everything you read on the Internet.

      95% of people is a huge number. I’m harping on it because it’s such a bold claim that an EV wouldn’t work for such a huge number, so I’m trying to see how you can back it up.

      And for the record, I live in Colorado and am from Minnesota. So I’m reasonably familiar with winter.
