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

    Hybrids are more affordable than full electrics, and have some of the benefits… I have a Kia Sorento and its torque was enough to climb out of a pretty deep rut that would have required shifting into low4 on my dad’s 4x4… Plus it gets about 600 miles on a tank.
