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.
We have a food delivery company in town, and they use electric cars. I got to talk to the owners a few years back, and they were paying around that price. So I suspect it’s getting close to fitting your needs. How far do you drive each day, on average?
90+ miles
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.
My car has a basically brand-new battery (6 months old) and is currently estimated at 6k or so
The time is here already my guy
That’s still double the car price. No thanks.
The lie detector determined that… Was a lie!
I’m not paying a potential $6k more after buying a used car.
While my sentence could be worded more clearly, that’s a pretty bad reading of what I said.
My car is valued by KBB at ~6k in it’s current state.
That current state includes a battery that was replaced under warranty 6 months ago, and is thus basically a brand-new battery, 9 years left on its warranty and everything.
So if something goes wrong with the battery and it isn’t directly your fault: it gets replaced for free. The only 6k being spent is the original 6k on the car as a whole
