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’m with you that we need phev’s to bridge the infrastructure gap, but electric motors provide more torque at lower speeds without the need for gears.

      Yes, and hybrids have that advantage too, that’s the point I was trying to get across…
