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.

I'd love to have one, but I don't see it happening any time soon unfortunately.

I saw a few used VW E Golf listings in my area for $6K. Battery health was at 85%. We're not as far as you might think.

Advertised at 85%. Also 83 miles at 100% ain't going to work for me.

It's not quite there today, but in the next few years, you're going to see cheaper price and longer range on the used market.
