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

Not mention of the near 10x price difference in cost per mile?

Assume 3 miles per kWh

kWh = 7.5p night rate (Octopus EV night rate)

EV Cost per mile = 7.5p/3 = 2.5p per mile

Assume 30 mpg

Assume £1.50 per litre

There is 4.54609 litres per gallon.

So 4.54609 * £1.50 = £6.82 per gallon.

ICE Cost per mile = 682p/30 = 23p per mile
