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

Sorry. I was just mentioning, why electric cars also aren’t perfect and I would still rather buy a diesel.
Sorry for coming on a bit strong.
It had just started to feel like people were trying to say that I thought range anxiety was absolutely never legitimate.
In reality most people will do maybe one journey a year where it could possibly be. For them they’ll have saved so much from reduced maintenance and running costs of an EV that they could hire an ICE vehicle for that one trip and still have saved themselves money.
Of course if you’re way off the top end of the bell curve with your usage an EV may not yet be the best option for you.
Yes, I was also a little extreme about range anxiety. There still are EVs, that have decently long range. The reliability is what we need with all technology. I’m actually interested what could actually break in them other than battery or storage chips.
