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

There's a ton of pretty baseless, biased, and flat out wrong anti-EV stuff out there. Don't trust everything you read on the Internet.

95% of people is a huge number. I'm harping on it because it's such a bold claim that an EV wouldn't work for such a huge number, so I'm trying to see how you can back it up.

And for the record, I live in Colorado and am from Minnesota. So I'm reasonably familiar with winter.
