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

    All EVs come with Level 1 chargers that plug in to your standard house outlet, NEMA 5-15R. If there’s an outlet nearby you can charge your car.

    That can still be difficult for apartment renters, but there’s no need to modify your house.

      Sure, but if you use those it takes a very long time to charge. Like, from empty it can take 40+ hours to charge a battery EV from empty to 80%. If you’re using your car to commute and your commute is anywhere near the max range of your car, that isn’t a viable option.
