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

    High voltage is scary as fuck, but also the fact that absolutely everything from doors to gas pedal and chairs are controlled by a computer you need specialized proprietary equipment to investigate.

    This is an issue with new ice cars too to be honest

      EVs have a High voltage disconnect. I repaired my EV(inverter) with normal hand tools in my garage. I did have to buy a license and tool for flashing the firmware, but this is a problem in nearly every new vehicle, gas or electric.
