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 don’t have a parking space at my apartment

      A way to charge it at home is also a major issue for anybody who lives in an apartment.

        Not really. The cities across the world are introducing public chargers in lamp posts and at the kerb. While it is kind of an issue today, it won’t be tomorrow.

          Hopefully it won’t be, but charging an electric car is still not a standard thing for apartment buildings to offer tenants. So, for the moment, that’s a major reason for renters to not take the plunge.

            My apartment block in London has underground parking with allocated chargers. There are multiple lamp post chargers over here and other types of chargers. So, for the moment it’s already fine.
