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

That's neat! I think having the ability to charge outside of your apartment/work would be a huge help for people interested. I still think public transportation, bike paths, and walking paths done right is better but cars that polute less is a good step towards the right direction.

It's personal preference but I still think hybrids and plugin hybrids are better for most people, at least until electric cars improve.
