Eh? If an EV is idling then there's no "electricity flowing from its batteries".

- wolverine876 5y agoWhat does "idling" mean for the EV? Also, people often idle in order to use power, such as for heat, AC, the refrigerator in the back, etc.
- _nalply 5y agoWhen idling an internal combustion engine burns fuel just for not stopping. This needlessly wastes fuel, causes CO2 emissions, stinks and spreads unhealthy soot blackening lungs and walls of nearby people and houses. An EV engine just stands still. If people use power, they draw that from the battieres, however this energy is not wasted but employed for something useful.
- wolverine876 5y ago> an internal combustion engine burns fuel just for not stopping True, if it's idling, but many (most? all new?) ICEs now automatically stop when the car stops.
