Anyone can argue ICE vs EV all night long but there's only 1 metric I care about, in favor of EV:

When I am going to take my son to school, he doesn't have to smell the gas and the fumes from the exhaust in the garage.

Most of the exhaust fumes your son smells near school is going to come from other people's cars though.

I did daily (old station wagon in the rear facing seat), as well as school buses. Kindof liked the smell in moderation as a kid.

Still in favor of EVs, just a curiosity that this is so negative for you.

  • I suspect OP is considering health effects, not enjoyment.

    Plenty of people like cigarettes and opium too, that doesn't mean you want your kid exposed to the smoke.

How long are you running the car in your garage? A minute of idling isn't going to cause any problems.
