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.

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

      Gas engines are cheaper

      Which is patently false.

          What does EV and ICE have to do with comparing electric motors to gas motors?

            Either they are priced higher or they aren’t. They are priced higher and as such I won’t be buying one anytime soon. Not until they are a decade old on their original batteries.

              Do you also have English language comprehension issues?

                Reddit moment. You’re right, but you let this guy frustrate you into responding to the same nonsense multiple times in a row, and some people thought you were being mean.

                Yeah, I understand perfectly that you’re hilariously wrong. My car is paid off. It’s just maintenance at this point. How is that going to be more expensive than buying an EV?
