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

    in the US you can get a decent ICE car for under $2000, you cannot get a Chinese EV for under $2000 that holds a charge

      The average price of a new car in the USA is $47k. Comparing averages is more realistic than going to the lowest extreme example. My point is there exist electric cars that cost less than the average new car.

          It doesn’t matter, my point stands, half the people in the US who buy new ICE cars could buy electric cars for the same of less money. My whole point is that the price has gone down a lot.
