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

I would absolutely love to have an EV. But they are very expensive, especially compared to the gas-powered car I already own.

Well everything's more expensive than the thing you already own. It's true, most are available in the higher end markets right now, but the Bolt and Leaf are pretty cheap. In the long run, almost all EVs are cheaper than their gas counterparts.
