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

Guess there is an argument to be made for the increased power and torque being a bad thing, together with the extra weight of battery packs EV's do cause a lot more wear and tear of the road surface. But I highly doubt it offsets the pollution created by ICE's.
