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

    Yeah, I live in a city. In London to be more specific. But on street charging options are growing fast all over the country, you can read more here and you can find a map with all the spots there as well https://www.zap-map.com/ev-guides/on-street-charging

    The idea behind on street charging is that infrastructure is already there (lamp posts, etc), adding charging points is relatively cheap and that will generate additional income for the local councils. So it’s a win-win for everyone.

      That’s neat! I think having the ability to charge outside of your apartment/work would be a huge help for people interested. I still think public transportation, bike paths, and walking paths done right is better but cars that polute less is a good step towards the right direction.

      It’s personal preference but I still think hybrids and plugin hybrids are better for most people, at least until electric cars improve.
