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’ll get an electric when I can get a used one for around $5k and not have to worry about the battery going out and costing $20k.

    The lie detector determined that… Was a lie!

        While my sentence could be worded more clearly, that’s a pretty bad reading of what I said.

        My car is valued by KBB at ~6k in it’s current state.

        That current state includes a battery that was replaced under warranty 6 months ago, and is thus basically a brand-new battery, 9 years left on its warranty and everything.

        So if something goes wrong with the battery and it isn’t directly your fault: it gets replaced for free. The only 6k being spent is the original 6k on the car as a whole

          I gotcha, I was talking battery prices so I read it as battery prices. What do you have? A Leaf?
