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

Except that EVs don’t do shit to save the planet. Personal vehicles are the problem. Making a slightly different version of them is worthless.
Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.
Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don’t go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.
Like most people in the western world (and indeed likely in most of the world) do.
Because rental of smaller vehicle services (like taxis, etc.) is totally not a thing.
The problem here is that you have the American disease (even if you’re not American). You’re so infused with the cultural insistence that there’s only one way to do things … the way things are done now … that you literally cannot conceive of a life without cars (or guns, or with public health care). Despite this being, you know, the norm for most of the world.
I’m going to have to see a source for this claim.
I know the person has merit in their argument when they go on the personal attack. 👍
Im sorry but how else do you drive 2 hours into the middle of the woods where there are no other people around so you can get away from godawful society for a while if not owning your own car? Im certainly not going to pay someone else to drive me out to a favorite low/no traffic spot just to show everyone where it is and then ruin it.
