The delayed throttle response is really aggravating whenever I get into an ICE car. And the noise, the vibration and the smell of the fumes.
You really start noticing these things around you when you’ve got used to the clean and silent operation of an BEV. And I’ve certainly noticed the cost savings - going from filling a tank with £60 of petrol to charging my car conveniently at home for £5
- gist 2y ago> And the noise, the vibration and the smell of the fumes. In this day and age? Which car do you 'smell the fumes' or 'the vibration' unless the vibration is intentional (for the experience).

- Kirby64 2y agoUnless you’re driving a very high end car, pretty much any ICE definitely vibrates. It’s especially noticeable at start/stop with cars equipped with auto start stop. Also, the older the car, the more you’ll start getting weird smells and more vibrations. Oil leaks, motor mounts wearing out, etc. Most of those can be fixed, but who hasn’t driven a car earlier in their youth that perhaps wasn’t in the best shape? I knew a guy who drove a car that he had to put a liter of oil in it every 1000mi… none of those are problems with an EV besides perhaps aging suspension components.

- FirmwareBurner 2y ago>charging my car conveniently at home for £5 Emphasis on the "at home" part. Unless you have your own home with private parking and charger, EV ownership is a pain due to how expensive ,lacking and shit public charging infrastructure is. I'll have to stick to an ICE until they fix those since owning a house with my own parking space doesn't seem to be on the cards for me financially. People somehow forget this demographic exists.
