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

    Because it’s currently easier to find a gas station than a charger that will do that performance. Now I’m willing to wait 8 hrs for 10%, but others certainly aren’t.

      You must live in a red state or the middle of nowhere. It’s easy to find chargers everywhere I’ve been.

        Yes, my point. I have to charge my car at home because of charging stations are either far, or Tesla owners park in them to do shopping.

        Saying I live somewhere shit doesn’t disprove my point that gas is more readily available.

          Yeah because the conservative government of those areas is actively suppressing them from being built.

        My parents live in the sticks, in a red state, and I have no problem finding charging stations within twenty miles from them.
