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 live in a city where electric vehicles are at least 10% of the cars on the road. I have yet to see an electric vehicle fire, even on the news.

    You are accurate. What are the practical consequences?

    Gas station fires are devastating. I have not seen one of those locally either so I am not selling my gas guzzler to prevent gas station fires. There are bigger problems.

      100% and you know the first time it happens is going to be super covered too because of the potential for “controversy”.
